on one hand, social media pages like asian dawn and dion lim's have raised awareness about the spike in physical violence against asian elders (there's no reason to sweep this under the rug) but what I don't get is the intention of posting the mug shots of the perpetrators if they've already been apprehended. what purpose does it serve other than to perpetuate fear towards Black communities?
Yeah, I mean I don't know how many times it has to be said but that awareness can be brought without publishing blatant lies and being anti-black.
In the caption of that particular post the author explicitly says that one group is specifically attacking another.
It is intentionally harmful to characterize violence against Asians in that way. Not only is it intentionally harmful, its BLATANTLY RACIST.
I'm gonna go a step further and call it lazy on two levels:
The first obviously being laziness on behalf of the people that run the page/site.
Second it is laziness on behalf of the people that keep posting this page's content, as if its the only source chronicling violence against Asians.
Often Asian Dawn just purloins content from other sources and adds their own racist editorialization as a caption on instagram. That is PEAK laziness and there is just no other way to describe it.
I implore the good people in this thread to continue to bring awareness to this epidemic WITHOUT using Asian__Dawn as a source.
Asian__Dawn has demonstrated themselves not to be credible, woefully unreliable, and intentionally and proudly racist.
