Truth-Seeking Is NOT Racist

The other week I was accused of racism for simply asking a question. (Yes, in our culture, simply asking a question and not taking media outrage as truth is now considered racist…wonder how many people don’t speak up out of fear of being name-called…hint hint a lot!…which of course only hurts the very cause they are trying to help)

Essentially, if your argument is sound — you shouldn’t be afraid of people questioning your ideas, in fact, it should be welcome as it makes the ideas stronger and has society not BLINDLY believing something but doing THE THINKING to come to those ideas themselves.

So instead of the asinine slander against me, people could have just shared with me these statistics (which of course nobody did because they were too busy attacking my character and my intentions…and of course doing it shamelessly and never got an apology for being judgmental and accusing me of things I never did)

So for those curious about the Asian racism going on, seems pretty convincing that this is happening and recently spiked this year.

“according to a study of police data released by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University in San Bernardino, hate crimes against Asian Americans in 16 US cities rose 149% in 2020 over the previous year. New York City saw an alarming 833% rise during the same period.” — CNN

And unlike others who are afraid of hearing counter-arguments — if you believe any of this data is false or manipulated, please don’t hesitate to call it out. I won’t accuse you of racism in the name of truth-seeking. It’s childish, low-level thinking, and only hinders progress in society (and yes also hinders forwarding the conversation)

Here’s the link to the article. Cheers!
