Asian American Teen Called Racial Slur, Punched In Face During Tournament Basketball Game in Oakland

A San Jose teenager was punched in the head and allegedly called racial slurs during a tournament basketball game on Saturday in Oakland and it was all caught on video. What makes the situation even worse, the attacked player’s parents said, is that the players behind the physical altercation were only reprimanded after frustrated parents demanded something be done.

In the video, Evan (last name not given for fear of retaliation) is seen trying to grab a loose ball before an opposing player reaches it. That player passes the ball to a teammate and then is seen pushing Evan. Evan gets up and is then pushed to the ground by a second opposing player standing nearby. Words are exchanged before Evan walks away and returns to the player, who then punches Evan in the head.

Lennie (Evan’s mother) said well before the punch, the other team — the San Francisco Generals — repeatedly called Evan and his South Bay Snipers teammates a racial slur used against Asians.

“Two-thirds of the team are Asian,” Eduardo (Evan’s dad) said. The parents said no one jumped in to stop the altercation or reprimand the players. They also claim the director of the tournament, hosted by Grassroots 365, initially refused to watch video of the incident.

“How was a technical foul not called when he was obviously punching him in the face?” Olivia asked. “They said, ‘Oh, we saw what happened,’ and I was pressing them because I said, ‘If you saw what happened, you should not let that go!'” Evan’s parents say the punch left him with a concussion and left them angry that no one condemned the physical and racial attacks.

The two teens that attacked Even?

Black.

1. This is getting out of hand

Again racism. The two black kids should be charged. That's a hate crime.

‘Disgusting and horrific’ stabbing at San Francisco bus stop seriously injures two Asian women

Two Asian women were standing at a bus stop in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District on Tuesday evening when a man approached, stabbed them both and then calmly strolled away.

“He walked away like nothing happened, like Sunday morning,” Patricia Lee, who was working at a flower stand near the attack, told KGO-TV.

12. What's up with the violence by blacks against Asians? Is this hatred/racism long standing?

According to your DUmpmonkie friends, it's black TRUMP supporters who are doing all the attacks.

23. Are we going to talk about this honestly?

Or is this just another BS way to score points? Yes, Cheeto Mussolini is horrible -- as is white supremacy -- but these attacks are indicative of something else. If we can't talk about them honestly, what are we doing?

21. Great question.

I’ve been told here that blacks don’t have prejudice or bigotry, so I’ve no idea.

It's San Francespool, the sewer by the bay, and Oakland, where criminals a coddled and the law abiding citizenry are second class citizens. Of course nothing will be done to apprehend the people doing the crimes.

That Vox article writer is so full of @#$% that his eyes and hair are brown.

South Bay Snipers

The name of the team is the South Bay Snipers.  That's wild.  It probably used to be the Chiefs or the Braves but they had to change it because it was one of those names that is offensive to Indians--and they went with the Snipers.

This was the closest any of the primitives came to saying that anti asian violence is caused by President Trump calling covid the China virus.

Don't forget, it was also specifically in Oakland, known haven for many of the most violent and depraved left- wing "activists," especially the Black Bloc Anarchists.
Whenever nationwide left- wing protests start happening, the ones in Oakland are pretty much always the most violent and lawless.
Those vermin know that Oakland's public officials are all either fully on their side, or too spineless to stand up to them.

Oakland is a city well worth avoiding, but it's nowhere near as violent as Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, and Baltimore have been. Maybe even less violent than NYC and Chicago. Oakland is in the Violence League just in the minors or a perennial loser like the St. Louis Browns.

Gotta love it when people just post links to articles on Vox instead of formulating arguments.

Vox is clickbait trash for stupid people.

It's a step above MMfA and MoveOn or Rachel MadCow or "The Root", not that those are standards of excellence.
