An employee from a Korean-owned beauty supply store, Hair and Wig Beauty Supply, was physically assaulted last Friday for asking a customer to wear a facemask to prevent COVID-19 spread.
According to WNYT, the employee, Younglae Kim, is a recent Albany graduate who was following the New York State’s social distancing guidelines for COVID-19 spread prevention.
Kim told WNYT that the situation escalated into one of violent racism when he asked him to “please go out.”
The suspect asked him where he was from and allegedly said, “I don’t wear a mask because of you guys.”
He then spat on Kim’s face, which made him spit back in retaliation. Enraged, he started to punch and kick the employee in the abdomen, knocking him into the metal rods, before Kim fell, bleeding, to the floor.
“The doctor said my nose looked broken,” he said.
According to CBS 6 News, he told Kim to “go back to your country,” as well as adding a slew of racist comments while he was assaulting him.
As a South Korean native, Kim expressed that he wanted to live in the U.S., but after the attack, he’s unsure...

Imagine going to prison for attempted murder because you're an absolute fucking idiot and didn't wanna wear a mask.

Now something we can all agree on: all races are racist

IF this doesn't become a "everyone is racist, so it's normal/inevitable". And we have to acknowledge the past, it can't be erased by a video

Everyone is “racist”, it’s important to be able to acknowledge this in order to change the bias. It’s one thing to have a thought/to act on

Thank you !

FishSausages
If I'm interpreting my media correctly, no one is "not racist," just ignorant of their racism. It's a tough row to hoe.
Mewmus
for those people that tell me i'm racist no matter what and i'm simply ignorant of it, my response is "go fuck yourself"

It comes down to semantics, what you define as being racist. I think there’s lots of different levels to racism. We all have cognitive bias

Saying that is racist

Almost as common as certain white folk lynching blacks. Or asking anything not white if they where born here. Wild huh.

You would think that a community so readily discriminated against would be above discriminating against another.

Well thats the thing all groups are not monoliths. Asshats in all if em.

Serious question, how many lynchings did whites do last year?
GlassCanon
Does it matter?
cinthia3388
Yes of course. Nobody should be lynched. The number should be zero.

ACLU's site would have an accurate count if anyone does.
datphone777365
Serious responce, what would you consider an ingrained mentality towards dehumanizing a group to the point that a correction officer mocking

The death of someone pinned to the ground by the a leo as okay thing? Did it involve bed sheets torches and grand wizard demigorgon? Nah

Wearing a mask is about loving your neighbor. People need to be less selfish

Same. Went to the grocery store today. Maybe 1 out 10 wearing mask. The city is giving them out for free. So I don’t understand it.

The central racist claim is that differences between groups are greater than differences between individuals in the same "group" and its BS

Yep, this. Brandishing is a crime, and if you do it and get shot, you deserve it.

Is brandishing a firearm as a threat without personal intent to harm out of disagreement enough to get license revoked?

That’s the point of brandishing, you only draw a gun for protection and nothing more
