I'm curious what you're looking to get out of particular hill you've chosen to defend. Are you looking for more reporting about how select Asian groups have historically been terrible to each other (Japanese vs. Chinese & Koreans, Chinese vs. Uighurs, etc.)? Do you feel like the media is being unfair for not reporting on how progressives have historically been to Asians (minimum wage, etc.)? Or are you using this tragedy as a launching pad to make tired attacks on The Media (when all else fails, attack the reporters)?
This piece is a bit all over the place (as hearty rants tend to be), but I'm curious if you had a lever to change Reality in precisely one way in this whole situation, what ONE change would you choose to make? Severing reporting of these attacks from any mention of other attacks on Asians recently or historically? Having reporters dig more into the sex worker and human trafficking angle? Including more historical references to Asian-on-Asian atrocities and progressive-on-Asian animus to water-down any charges of white or conservative racism? You cover all of these above, but it's not clear how you rank these in importance.
Finally, this stood out to me - especially considering at least one of your past posts mentioning Disney and the NBA's dealings with the Chinese regime:
"The Biden administration wants to go in to negotiations with China, talking down its nose with 'human rights' guns blazing, about China’s treatment of the Uighurs and other abuses of the CCP. They talk with the same kind of paternal white man knows best condescension dealing with crimes against Asian Americans. The presumption is that it cannot possibly be liberals who harbor racism in their hearts. If there’s violence, it has to be racism, and it has to be the 'other' whites."
What precisely do you want the Biden administration to do here? Leave the fate of the Uighurs to the Chinese with nary a peep, to avoid the appearance of white liberal paternalism? Is the administration's rhetoric against the CCP's actions in Xinjiang not to your liking, or something else? It seems like you're eager to link your beefs with domestic attitudes toward anti-Asian racism with the Biden administration's overseas actions, but I thought you'd be on the same side as Biden here in pressuring the CCP to cease the genocide of the Uighurs.
This whole article is just a retread of "what about black on black crime?" that every white nationalist has used to defend their racism. Now just labeled to americans of asian heritage.

You must have strayed from the talking points favored by some of your readers.
