The Senate is working to wrap up an anti-Asian hate crimes bill this week as senators near a deal on changes to the legislation.

The bill, introduced by Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), will likely come up for a vote as early as Wednesday, a Senate Democratic aide confirmed to The Hill.

"I'm optimistic we can finish our work on the anti-Asian hate crimes bill later this week in the same manner we started it, with an overwhelming bipartisan vote. And let me say it's needed," Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said from the Senate floor on Monday.

Wow, great idea. I didn’t realize crimes against Asians were currently legal.

The real purpose of the bill is to criminalize complaints about China.

“Does that mean that black thugs will get arrested?”

No need. They broke those other laws at will, but this one will intimidate them into compliance.

Passing anti-Asian crime laws is...

Racist.

Unless being disappointed when the local Thai restaurants, Chinese buffets and take outs closed temporarily at the beginning of the scamdemic is considered Asian hate crimes, there wasn’t any around our neck of the woods.

Well the problem is you commit a crime against an Asian and you want to commit another one just a couple of hours later.

As an aside, us Hebrews are technically Asian as are most Arabs, if one looks at a map.

Some sneak protection of Arabs and Muslims is probably the real agenda.

“My god this government is simply retarded.”

They are working toward a goal, and passing moronic laws actually pushes us in that direction.

Definition of an Asian Hate Crime: A heinous illegal act perpetrated by a feral Negro who assaults a defenseless Oriental with extreme violence, and an entirely innocent Caucasian is subsequently blamed for the act.

So generic “hate crimes” laws aren’t enough. Now we will need a hate crime law for every race and nationality under the son.

* anti-Sikh hate crimes law
* anti-Moslem hate crimes law
* anti-Mexican hate crimes law
* anti-Afghani hate crimes law

Guess which “anti-X hate crimes law” will NEVER be passed.

when is it going to become a hate crime that will be prosecuted when white people get attacked and beaten by black people for no reason other than the difference in their skin color?

If there are Black and Asian hate bills are they the same? If not why the difference? What if a person is half black, half Asian?

If there is a generic hate bill why do we need one for Blacks or Asians? Do we need a Hispanic hate bill as well? How about a Polish hate bill?

Define ASIAN!!! I’m sick of hearing “Asian.” There are dozens of ethnicities on Asia (A made up boundary). Is an Ethnic Russian “Asian?” Is a Filipino “Asian?” Is Mazzy Hirono, born and raised on Oahu Asian? Is Asian a race? Is Asian a location? If Mazzy Hirono is Asian does this mean Barry Soetero is an Asian African American? It’s another stupid Alinsky twisting of words to mean whatever the marxists want a word to mean. Just like “African American.” Are you an African if you are native born white? Nope. Not in America. You are white. What about an black person who is born and raised on Barbados who has never been to Africa and is not an American? Why yes. You are African American.

Just another anti white piece of racist garbage from the mouths of idiot politicians.
