Has anyone told Al Sharpton about the white supremacist who brutally beat an Asian man Friday on the New York subway while shouting, "You Asian motherf---er"? The white supremacist, identified by police as 36-year-old Marc Mathieu, happens to be a black man.

This is important because Sharpton devoted a whole 10 minutes of his MSNBC show on Sunday to reasserting the media-generated myth that Asian Americans are being terrorized by white supremacists across the country. Using the recent and ridiculous "study" by the Anti-Defamation League purporting a surge in "white supremacist propaganda" being distributed throughout the United States, Sharpton asked Democratic Rep. Grace Meng what she believed to be "fueling" the "hatred" for Asian Americans.

Meng predictably attributed the supposed increase in anti-Asian animus to none other than former President Donald Trump. "Our former president wasted no opportunity to make sure that people that looked like ... me knew that we weren't American enough, and we weren't good enough," she said.

The idea that this is about white supremacy and that Trump caused it is a preposterous lie. That's why, even though the liberals at CNN and MSNBC hype the race of the victims when discussing any crime against Asians, they're curiously silent about the race of the perpetrators.

If this is really about white supremacy, then there appears to be an awful lot of black and brown-skinned white supremacists on the loose committing violent crimes against Asians.

The attack in New York was just one of a slew of violent episodes, many of them caught on camera, wherein the victim was a person of Asian descent, and the suspect was black.

Vicha Ratanapakdee, an 84-year-old San Francisco man of Thai descent, was on his routine morning walk in late January when a man in a hoodie charged in his direction and shoved him to the ground. Ratanapakdee was hospitalized and died two days later. Police identified and charged 19-year-old Antoine Watson for the crime. Watson, who pleaded not guilty, is black.

Another clip from late January showed the assault of a 91-year-old man in the Chinatown section of Oakland, California. A man walking up behind him in a hoodie and uses both arms to push the unsuspecting victim to the ground before the assailant walks away. Police identified 28-year-old Yahya Muslim as the perpetrator and linked him to similar attacks of two other elderly people from the same day. Muslim is black.

Denny Kim, 27, of Los Angeles, was randomly attacked last month by two men who he said ambushed him in the street. While beating him up and leaving him with a black eye, the men called him "Chinese virus" and said, "all f---ing Asians gotta die." Police described the suspects as Hispanic.

Also last month, an Asian man in New York was taken to the hospital in critical condition after being stabbed in the back with a butcher knife. The perpetrator later turned himself in to the police. I could only find a photo of him with a face mask, making it difficult to discern his race. I do know that his name is Salman Muflihi, probably not the sort of name you would expect a white supremacist to have.

If Sharpton wants to stop attacks against Asian Americans, he would probably accomplish a lot more by discouraging the black assailants whose community he claims to lead, rather than placing the blame on phantom klansmen.
