A couple months ago there were some viral videos circulating of Black people committing violent acts against Asian Americans. It was creating this harmful narrative and perception in peoples' minds that Black people were the primary perpetrators of anti-Asian hate and violence.
Every time we would speak about anti-Asian racism, we would hear people saying "it's mostly Black people doing this" and we could just see how these viral clips were fueling and reinforcing anti-Blackness and division between the Black and Asian community in real-time.
