get shorty

This article on the recent attacks on Chinese elderlies pisses me off.

Bayview police station Capt. Greg Suhr says the police are responding, including adding 32 officers to his station to make Muni safer. But he thinks the racial issue is clouding perceptions.

"We are seeing large kids or kids in large numbers taking advantage of people of smaller stature," Suhr said. "We have Hispanics in the neighborhood who are targeted fairly frequently."

So there is no hate crime, no racism. Those big black kids are only beating up and killing Chinese people because we are short. Too bad for us and those also-unfortunately-short Hispanics.

No wonder we can never solve these problems. We can't even call it what it is.
