Elderly man gets hit in the head with his own wine bottle by two muggers on Chicago train after confronting him at 2am. Black on Asian, so none of the usual suspects will care.

Look at the case linked in this topic. What evidence do you have that it was racially motivated?

The reporting on these cases is racially motivated. You'll rarely see articles like, black man attacked by black man, despite that being an extremely common occurrence. The Asians are certainly taking notice of the races of those that attack them, but the attackers are simple thugs that don't care about anything. Black white asian whatever if they can rob you they will. Thugs don't give a fuck. They have no honor. No code of ethics.

It's a racial attack. Duh! He was attacked because he was Asian. Prove otherwise.

the attackers are simple thugs that don't care about anything.

This is just wrong. They can and do target people due to their race. You said "Immigrants make easier targets for crime".

You're arguing against yourself - and losing. :P LOL

He looks drunk, he's by himself on the train at 3 am. If I'm a thief, I'm attacking the guy that seems the least likely to fight back. It's retarded to assume they attacked him because he's asian. It's actually racist to assume that. You're assuming race is more important than any of the other factors. By definition a racist outlook on the world.

Immigrants make easier targets for crime for any number of reasons but mostly because of lack of familiarity with the area, meaning less of a chance of backlash on the thief. This is in no way a racial phenomenon and is true everywhere in the world. If you go to another country you are at higher risk of being a victim of a crime for no other reason besides being an immigrant and not being familiar with the surroundings to the same degree as a local. Same reason why country bumpkins with no street smarts get pickpocketed easier. You see the American flag T-shirt and camera ate obvious signs but beyond that, gait, how they hold their cigarette, all of that tells loads of where someone is from. Elementary my dear Watson. Immigrants are also scared of police due to language barriers and are less likely to report shit to cops.

None of this has anything to do with race in the US since skin color is a fucking stupid way to judge people. Is the Asian guy a 1st gen immigrant or a 4th gen descendant of an immigrant and utterly white in all aspects save appearance and dietary preference. Do better mate. I'm a fucking professional racist first class you are still a beginner.

If you can't tell if someone is Nigerian Ghanan or Senagali on sight can you even call yourself a racist? Do better.
