Republicans are tougher on crime and there’s a completely useless asian hate crime part of the nypd who don’t give half a shit about what happens to asian people. You can get picked out in a crowd of other non asian people, swung on without provocation, stand there bruised and bleeding and the nypd officer will ask “what makes you think this is an asian hate crime?” over and over and do whatever they can to downplay the situation so they don’t have to file a report.
