Chinese vigilantes step up patrols in face of crime wave targeting Asians

Suspects' race given in paragraph 23 of a 32 paragraph story.

(Excerpt)

When night falls, Chinese restaurant chef A-Shun heads out in his SUV with a box of Red Bull in tow.

A-Shun patrols various south Sacramento neighborhoods from 9 p.m. until the early hours of the morning, waiting to respond to potential crimes targeting Asians. He is part of a self-organized volunteer patrol group of at least a dozen Chinese immigrants. Their ranks include waitresses and construction workers, store owners and massage therapists.

Shocking

Some minorities ore more "minority" than others

As mrc said, you have to read ~2/3 of the article to learn particulars about the perps. Given the controversies surrounding current Mayor Kevin Johnson, I can understand that these Chinese and Vietnamese residents might be a bit skeptical of Sac PD's willingness and ability to respond. That Johnson, apparently, is a slumlord in Oak Park, the site of a 1969 race riot, is bitterly ironic to me.

If one of these Chinese vigilantes shoots a black person be prepared for the a new ethnicity called "white-asian" to be created.
