An amendment was offered to an “Asian hate crime” bill:
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz introduced a change to a Democrat-authored “Asian hate crime” bill making its way through Congress, expanding on the bill’s prohibitions against anti-Asian racism by stripping federal funding from colleges and universities that discriminate against Asians in their admissions process . . .
The bill, Cruz said, “is not designed to do anything to prevent or punish actual crimes. It is instead a Democratic messaging vehicle designed to push the demonstrably false idea that it is somehow racist to acknowledge that Covid-19 originated in Wuhan, China and that the Chinese Communist Party actively lied and suppressed information about the outbreak, allowing it to become a global pandemic.”
Here is the vote on the Cruz Amendment:
Democrats apparently have no problem with the fact that Ivy League Colleges are viciously and openly discriminating against Asian-Americans.
This is a return to state-sanctioned racism, the very worst type of all. It is acceptable to discriminate against a particular ethnicity if doing so provides a theoretical benefit to a larger ethnicity. The situation in California was summed up by community organizer Carol Mo in a 2010 article originally published in the SF Chronicle: “In 85 percent of the physical assault crimes, the victims were Asian and the perpetrators were African American,” she said. The San Francisco City Council and the San Francisco Police Department both actively worked to hide the frequency of black-on-Asian violent crime.

In another article we find “As turmoil roiled in Los Angeles in April 1992, Korean store owners were abandoned by the LAPD and forced to fend for themselves. The results were disastrous.”
The story can be found at https://allthatsinteresting.com/roof-koreans, which reads as a defense of African-Americans.
Things have not changed since then. Korean immigrants have few employment opportunities and no proponents in government in the US, so they start new businesses. On arrival they rarely have much money, and move into neighborhoods already occupied by minorities where rents are lower. This is merely one part of the narrative that Democrats don’t allow revealed.
