Great piece. Glad that you mentioned the Atlanta spa shootings, which gets repeatedly mentioned as THE example of horrific anti-Asian hate, and maybe that’s fair. What I very rarely see mentioned was the official law enforcement response to it. I was living in Atlanta at the time of the shootings, and it was a HUGE deal- TV and radio broke into their programming to report on it and a massive manhunt was launched almost immediately. The perpetrator was, in fact, caught the very same day, and the district attorney immediately held a press conference to announce her intention to seek the death penalty for him. Pretty different from San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin making excuses for a perp caught on tape murdering an elderly Asian man: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/family-of-84-year-old-man-killed-in-san-francisco-upset-with-district-attorney/2484573/
Hey Chris, was nice meeting up with you last week. Wish I could have spent more time with you if my decision to overeat at a cheap restaurant on a hot night hadn't been incredibly ill-advised.
Also wish I could have been in NYC for the premiere, the event looks amazing. I checked out the link on youtube and it was a well spent ten minutes of my life. Unfortunate I'll be moving to Chicago soon...but maybe there could be an opportunity to do something similar there.
Tremendous post. Thank you for amplifying the work of DCC; and, bringing more attention to how victimhood has been monopolized by progressives, who do their best to rewrite the increase of violence targeting Asians by concealing the identity of most perpetrators.
Spitting facts as always. Sending cheers for all evolutions of Plan A. So happy on a personal note of fulfillment for you Chris, sounds like you've found a community and hub to motivate more writings ... great deal for us :)

Asians are victims when it comes time to organize Asian voters and donors for Team D.
Asians are "white-adjacent" when it becomes necessary to organize and focus other groups' outrage.

Likewise! I'm sure there'll be some hangout in August and I'll be sure to invite you.
