So that means it’s OK? That’s f’d up reasoning if I ever heard one. Hate is hate. Doesn’t matter who perpetuates it.

But the topic is about Jane using her voice to bring light to the issue and have these conversations with other Asian American families.
To be accurate, rather than “stop Asian hate,” which clumps all non-Asians together, why not call out what’s actually happening?

Where are all the indigenous people attacking Asians? Oh, yeah, it’s not happening. What about Hispanic attacks on Asians? Nope. It’s predominantly black people attacking Asians, but the media are too scared of black people to call it out.

Why doesn’t this former journalist educate people on what’s actually happening and try to protect Asians from black people attacking them? Instead, she’s teaching Asians that all people hate them, and that’s simply not true.

I’m sure she would have, if this were true... which it isn’t.
Around a quarter of attacks against Asian Americans are committed by non-whites. You don’t need to be Archimedes to figure out that is far from predominant. Besides, that’s not the point of Jane’s videos. She is educating her children about hate and she is sharing those lessons with others in order to spread awareness.

Jane’s journalistic integrity is impeccable, as is her personal integrity. To imply otherwise is deceitful.
You can't "stop Asian hate."

It would be similar to try to stop happiness, fear, sadness, and love.

Hatred is an emotion.

You can surely attempt to educate people on various topics, but trying to "stop Asian hate" is one of the most ignorant efforts I've ever witnessed.
