Rosen had 59% of the vote to Chung’s 24% and Khan’s 17%, on Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen, who has held the job since 2010, describes himself as a prosecutor who takes a balanced approach, citing endorsements from both police associations and civil rights groups such as the NAACP. Khan campaigned on his opposition to cash bail and gang enhancements, and his support for diversion programs and holding police accountable for misconduct. Chung opposes some progressive voter-approved reforms, including downgrading the penalties for drug possession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Santa Clara County leads the way in technology, diversity and the smart and balanced way we strive to handle criminal justice,” said Rosen. “Today’s vote once again shows there is a mandate for safety and fairness — not one at the expense of the other, but both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alameda County\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn November, voters in Alameda County are likely to choose between outspoken progressive Pamela Price, a former public defender and civil rights attorney, and veteran prosecutor Terry Wiley, who favors many progressive approaches but is perhaps the most traditional candidate. In early returns, Price and Wiley were the top two vote-getters \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2022/05/06/alameda-county-da-race-candidates-pimary-election-2022/\">in a four-way race\u003c/a> to succeed incumbent District Attorney Nancy O’Malley, who is retiring. Price had 40% and Wiley had 31% of the vote late Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiley, in his three decades in the DA’s office, has overseen investigations of police shootings and touts his work on restorative justice, as well as his years of experience prosecuting criminals. Price has vowed to tackle racial disparities in the enforcement of justice and to scrutinize police shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“\u003c/b>I’m very grateful to the people of Alameda County for standing with us on this journey,” said Price. “As a community, we are appalled when people find out that African Americans are 20 times more likely to be incarcerated in this county in 2022. \u003ci>S\u003c/i>o that’s what we have to begin to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other candidates — Jimmie Wilson, another deputy in the DA’s office, and Seth Steward, a former prosecutor in San Francisco who is currently chief of staff to Oakland Councilmember Dan Kalb — were lagging in early returns: Wilson had 21% and Steward 9% of votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Becton, along with Boudin and Gascón, was a founding member of the progressive Prosecutors Alliance of California, established in 2020 in the wake of the George Floyd murder. Knox had the backing of many law enforcement groups across the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Contra Costa County voters have spoken clearly to indicate that they really want a criminal justice system that is about safety, but that is always also about fairness and equality for everyone,” said Becton. “We’ve adopted new and innovative approaches that move us beyond a singular reliance on incarceration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Joaquin County\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTori Verber Salazar was running narrowly behind fellow Republican Ron Freitas, a prosecutor in her office.

Tuesday night Abrams had 61% to Henry’s 39%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrams had strong backing from police groups. But she was widely criticized when she recused her office from pursuing charges in two fatal Vallejo police shootings, citing a lack of public trust.

Henry, who claims support from liberals, \u003ca href=\"https://www.vallejosun.com/chief-deputy-to-challenge-krishna-abrams-as-solano-da/\">took Abrams to task\u003c/a> for the recusal and for the running of the office, which she complained is plagued by favoritism and a lack of diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Santa Clara County\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDistrict Attorney Jeff Rosen won reelection without a runoff Tuesday, even though he\u003ca href=\"https://sanjosespotlight.com/election-2022-the-race-for-santa-clara-county-district-attorney-da-jeff-rosen-sajid-khan-daniel-chung/\"> faced two challengers\u003c/a>: Sajid Khan, a deputy public defender running to Rosen’s left, and deputy DA Daniel Chung, who cast himself as a tougher prosecutor. Rosen had 59% of the vote to Chung’s 24% and Khan’s 17%, on Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen, who has held the job since 2010, describes himself as a prosecutor who takes a balanced approach, citing endorsements from both police associations and civil rights groups such as the NAACP. Khan campaigned on his opposition to cash bail and gang enhancements, and his support for diversion programs and holding police accountable for misconduct. Chung opposes some progressive voter-approved reforms, including downgrading the penalties for drug possession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Santa Clara County leads the way in technology, diversity and the smart and balanced way we strive to handle criminal justice,” said Rosen. “Today’s vote once again shows there is a mandate for safety and fairness — not one at the expense of the other, but both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alameda County\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn November, voters in Alameda County are likely to choose between outspoken progressive Pamela Price, a former public defender and civil rights attorney, and veteran prosecutor Terry Wiley, who favors many progressive approaches but is perhaps the most traditional candidate. In early returns, Price and Wiley were the top two vote-getters \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2022/05/06/alameda-county-da-race-candidates-pimary-election-2022/\">in a four-way race\u003c/a> to succeed incumbent District Attorney Nancy O’Malley, who is retiring. Price had 40% and Wiley had 31% of the vote late Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiley, in his three decades in the DA’s office, has overseen investigations of police shootings and touts his work on restorative justice, as well as his years of experience prosecuting criminals. Price has vowed to tackle racial disparities in the enforcement of justice and to scrutinize police shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“\u003c/b>I’m very grateful to the people of Alameda County for standing with us on this journey,” said Price. “As a community, we are appalled when people find out that African Americans are 20 times more likely to be incarcerated in this county in 2022. \u003ci>S\u003c/i>o that’s what we have to begin to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other candidates — Jimmie Wilson, another deputy in the DA’s office, and Seth Steward, a former prosecutor in San Francisco who is currently chief of staff to Oakland Councilmember Dan Kalb — were lagging in early returns: Wilson had 21% and Steward 9% of votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last September, 62% of California voters voted no on the recall, essentially identical to the 62% who voted for Newsom over Republican challenger John Cox in the 2018 gubernatorial election.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like elected officials at all levels, Newsom is facing headwinds from the pandemic, gas prices and inflation, in addition to voter concerns about quality-of-life issues including homelessness and public safety. But Newsom’s campaign ads remained mostly positive, like one touting his “\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnL1YymwO5Y\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Courage Through Crisis\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">” where he focused on California’s resilience, with a promise to reflect the state’s values, like diversity, protecting the environment and following science.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Newsom overcame lingering unhappiness with his handling of the pandemic and other problems, notably the Employment Development Department’s epic mishandling of \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the federally funded Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, where EDD paid some $20 billion in fraudulent unemployment claims and gummed up payments to those in need while investigations took place.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the incumbent in a solidly Democratic state, Newsom benefited from an overwhelming financial advantage over his rivals. Through May, the Newsom for Governor campaign had $23 million cash on hand, most of it raised last year when Newsom faced a recall. By comparison, Sen. Dahle had just $392,485 in the bank at the end of May, while Shellenberger had a similar cash-on-hand total of $320,114.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dahle represents a sprawling state senate district that includes all or part of 11 mostly rural counties.

But Newsom’s campaign ads remained mostly positive, like one touting his “\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnL1YymwO5Y\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Courage Through Crisis\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">” where he focused on California’s resilience, with a promise to reflect the state’s values, like diversity, protecting the environment and following science.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Newsom overcame lingering unhappiness with his handling of the pandemic and other problems, notably the Employment Development Department’s epic mishandling of \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the federally funded Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, where EDD paid some $20 billion in fraudulent unemployment claims and gummed up payments to those in need while investigations took place.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the incumbent in a solidly Democratic state, Newsom benefited from an overwhelming financial advantage over his rivals. Through May, the Newsom for Governor campaign had $23 million cash on hand, most of it raised last year when Newsom faced a recall. By comparison, Sen. Dahle had just $392,485 in the bank at the end of May, while Shellenberger had a similar cash-on-hand total of $320,114.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dahle represents a sprawling state senate district that includes all or part of 11 mostly rural counties. He won the endorsement of the state Republican Party and is in sync with many of its positions, including opposition to abortion, saying \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://envirovoters.org/archives/scorecard/2019/senate/dahle/index.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">climate change\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is not the primary cause of California’s wildfires and blaming voter-approved ballot measures for the recent uptick in property crime. His positions and campaign slogan, “Restoring California,” may appeal to the 24% of voters registered as Republican, but he is unlikely to approach the percentage needed to win in November.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A crowd surrounded him to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man, identified in Chinese media as “Mr. Zhou” and in court documents as “Ximing Z.,” was walking his usual route through San Francisco’s Hunters Point neighborhood on Feb. 22, 2020, collecting recyclables to trade in for cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on that particular Saturday, as Zhou, then 68, made his way to the small, one-block stretch of Osceola Lane, he was attacked and robbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 20-year-old, Dwayne Grayson, stood nearby, capturing the incident on his cellphone in footage that later would be viewed by millions as it made the rounds online and on television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grayson can be heard\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbufWls8QRM\"> on the video saying\u003c/a>, “I hate Asians, n— [N-word].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a time of rising hate against Asian communities. Just two days before the attack on Zhou, 84-year-old Rong Xin Liao \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-asian-attack-sf-stop-hate-aapi/10449226/\">was assaulted\u003c/a>. Liao still isn’t sure why someone knocked him to the concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s possible because I am Asian, or I am disabled, so I got picked on,” Liao told The San Francisco Standard in mid-May. He was waiting at a bus stop in the Tenderloin neighborhood, when 22-year-old Eric Ramos-Hernandez was recorded on camera jump-kicking Liao to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early 2021, Thai immigrant Vicha Ratanapakdee, 84, was killed after being forcefully shoved to the ground during his morning walk in San Francisco. The violent incident was caught on video and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/17/magazine/vicha-ratanapakdee.html\">shocked the world\u003c/a>. Ratanapakdee later became the public face of the movement demanding justice and safety for Asian Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ratanapakdee’s daughter, Monthanus Ratanapakdee, told The SF Standard that she believed the fatal violence was “racially motivated” because the pandemic has flared up the hate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All these cases, which attracted a huge wave of media coverage, were among many across the country igniting the national Stop Asian Hate movement. But that hate is rarely reflected in criminal charges, in part because it can be hard to prove an attacker was motivated by race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED and The SF Standard partnered to review a dozen high-profile criminal cases in San Francisco involving Asian and Asian American victims during 2020 and 2021 to unpack the essence of the fear from Asian communities — that the crimes are racially motivated — while shining a light on the aftermath of incidents that quickly enter the public consciousness and then fade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the 12 cases, many were initially investigated as hate crimes, but only two were eventually charged as such.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, importantly, five of the 12 defendants have entered mental health diversion programs, meaning the criminal prosecution may be suspended based on the treatment results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All 12 are pending, languishing in a court system still reeling from the pandemic. In recent weeks, Black and Asian community leaders have called on law enforcement to push for hate crime enhancements to stem the tide of anti-Asian hate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the dozen reviewed cases, even where alternatives to incarceration were pursued, the promises of that process were ultimately unfulfilled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Skip to: \u003ca href=\"#12cases\">12 high-profile criminal cases reviewed by The SF Standard and KQED\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During 2020 and 2021, anger over these crimes helped fuel an effort to recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. According to a poll conducted by Embold Research for The SF Standard in May, a \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/community/asian-american-voters-support-recall-da-chesa-boudin/\">greater percentage of Asian American voters\u003c/a> support the recall against Boudin than any other ethnic group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While community discussion between Black and Asian leaders has sometimes centered on increasing hate crime charges in San Francisco, other Black leaders say that locking people up only harms communities in the long run, perpetuating a cycle of mass incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, more data collection about hate incidents may lead to better community protection. A new state bill may make that information gathering mandatory if it is ultimately signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A crime victim looks for healing instead of prosecution\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Zhou, the man assaulted while collecting recyclables, lives on the edge — like so many other Asian immigrants in San Francisco who can’t or won’t get government aid, whose limited English makes job-hunting difficult, and who lift blue lids in neighborhoods across the city to sustain themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News reports said Zhou’s experience before the attack in the Hunters Point neighborhood was largely warm and welcoming. In a historically Black neighborhood all-too-familiar with living on the margins, residents would often go out of their way to ensure Zhou’s plastic garbage bag was filled to bursting with discarded cans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s also a neighborhood with a growing Asian population, leading to some animus between the communities. Those raw feelings have become all too public of late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent San Francisco redistricting meeting in City Hall, anger exploded between Asian and Black residents of southeast San Francisco, debating which communities should be granted more representation in a new map of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You say you have solidarity with us when you call us racists, and Nazis, and corporate shills?” \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tv/CcbJeK9OVrA/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=\">said Drew Min, executive director at San Francisco Community Alliance for Unity, Safety, and Education, speaking to the Black community\u003c/a>. He was speaking at a lectern during public comment on the redistricting process, but called out what he saw as a lack of community solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have the guts to speak up for our people, when your people say something,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People in the audience yelled in anger. “He says there’s going to be a new [District 10], that’s what he said. There’s going to be a new D10,” cried out one woman, speaking to the idea of one community being replaced by another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those sentiments have long simmered in San Francisco. For years, community institutions like the Cameron House in Chinatown and Third Baptist Church in the Western Addition have tried to bridge the gaps between Asian and Black people in their respective neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with rising attacks against the AAPI community leading up to and during the pandemic, those tensions came to the fore again in public discussions of hateful incidents. That brings us back to 2020, as an Asian man is thrust into the spotlight as he collects cans in Hunters Point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhou’s attacker, Jonathan Amerson, 56, was recorded standing by a pile of Zhou’s trash bags. He swung at Zhou with what on video looks like a garbage picker, as a crowd looked on. Amerson then allegedly took Zhou’s cart of recycling bags, according to court records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco police later arrested both Amerson and Grayson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for Grayson — the young man who filmed the incident, mocked Zhou, and expressed his hatred in clear terms — the handling of prosecution was more complex since he wasn’t directly involved in the attack; he only recorded it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the DA’s office \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Chesa-Boudin-crime-video-Bayview-Asian-attack-DA-15099780.php#taboola-1\">dropped charges against Grayson\u003c/a> to pursue a more rehabilitation-oriented alternative to traditional prosecution — at Zhou’s request — the media followed closely, framing the story in a way that suggested Boudin was letting Grayson off too easily, even though he was not one of the attackers. Some headlines were misleading, often claiming “charges dropped” against a suspect in the attack, leading many to think charges were dropped against Amerson, the attacker, not Grayson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to KQED’s Political Breakdown hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos on stage at KQED in May, Boudin defended his decision on Grayson, saying recording the attack against Zhou without intervening was “not a good thing,” and his behavior was \"offensive, horrific, racist, disrespectful\" — but “not criminal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11913102 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Chesa2-1020x678.jpg']Brooke Jenkins, a former assistant district attorney who is now a spokesperson for the recall effort against Boudin, is also a former hate crimes prosecutor in the DA’s office. She said hate crime charges could have been pursued in Zhou’s case using the hateful slur captured on video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my view, in that case, it did meet the bar,” Jenkins said. “There were statements that made the intentions very clear, and [made] the motivations very clear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grayson and Zhou ultimately did not participate in a restorative justice process together, as they initially intended. That process would’ve seen the two men reconcile their differences, sitting together and talking out what happened. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/restorative-justice/\">In their description of the goal of the San Francisco Restorative Justice Collaborative\u003c/a>, the DA’s office specifically points to the method as a practice to encourage multiracial consensus, and global racial solidarity, particularly aiming to repair the relationship between Asian American and African American communities in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, it was a process designed to address moments of hate just like this one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, authorities steered Grayson into another restorative justice path: neighborhood courts. It’s known as a “diversion” program that focuses on rehabilitation and urges participants to take accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhou and Grayson couldn’t be reached for comment for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amerson, who was charged with second-degree robbery and inflicting injury on an elder, was released on his own recognizance with a GPS-tracked ankle monitor. His case is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notably, Amerson lacked a permanent home when he was arrested for attacking Zhou. He was “mostly transient,” his attorney wrote in a 2020 declaration to the court. Only after his arrest was he able to secure housing, his lawyer wrote, and has been “doing well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Boudin touts hate-crime charges, even when he's dropped them\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The question of when to charge hate crimes has become a source of contention in the recall election against Boudin. In his own defense, Boudin’s current \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1524906812952047617\">pinned Tweet\u003c/a> highlights a video quoting The San Francisco Chronicle, “ ... beating of Asian father was a hate crime, Boudin decides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11915690\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11915690\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-30-at-3.05.25-PM.jpg\" alt='A screenshot from a No on H campaign ad features a San Francisco Chronicle article saying, \"beating of Asian Father as a hate crime, Boudin Decides.\"' width=\"1920\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-30-at-3.05.25-PM.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-30-at-3.05.25-PM-800x500.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-30-at-3.05.25-PM-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-30-at-3.05.25-PM-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-30-at-3.05.25-PM-1536x960.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A screenshot from a No on H campaign ad featuring a San Francisco Chronicle article. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Chesa No on H campaign)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But a review of court records by The SF Standard and KQED shows the hate crime he charged against suspect Sidney Hammond, who allegedly assaulted an Asian American father with a baby stroller on April 30, 2021, were eventually dropped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA’s office verified as much and explained that, after charging, they received additional evidence that did not support hate crime charges, including a San Francisco police officer stating in a report that the incidents were not hate motivated. As such, the office was “ethically obligated” to dismiss the hate crime enhancement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And no hate-related charges were pursued against the suspect who kicked Liao out of his walker in the Tenderloin. According to the latest court documents, Ramos-Hernandez has been referred to mental health treatment and was released with a GPS tracking monitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect pushing Ratanapakdee to death, Antoine Watson, remains in custody and is charged with murder. No hate crime-related charges were filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins, who is one of Boudin’s toughest critics, pointed out the importance of charging hate crimes but also acknowledged that hate crimes are notoriously difficult to charge because they hinge on proving intent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you feel like you’re being targeted for that reason, they want to feel vindicated,” said Jenkins. She added that victims of the crime want to see charges that truly capture and reflect the “full scope of someone's conduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But hate crimes are “one of the only charges that require the DA’s office to prove motive for the underlying crime,” she said. In other words, it requires that someone has made a verbal expression regarding the victim’s identity, or shows a clear pattern of targeting over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two cases with hate crime charges, among the dozen reviewed by KQED and The SF Standard, and both of them reflect those patterns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A serial vandalism suspect, Derik Barreto, was charged by DA Boudin for nearly 30 counts of hate crimes as he allegedly targeted Asian-owned businesses, breaking their windows. Barreto provided a lengthy interview with the police explicitly saying he had some delusions “around the surveillance capabilities of Chinese,” court documents reveal. In this case, Barreto verbally admitted targeting Chinese-owned businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the judge in the case ordered Barreto to be released, even though the DA’s office opposed the decision.

But Tinisch Hollins, head of Californians for Safety and Justice, said sometimes people react to crime with efforts that ultimately perpetuate racism, and racial injustice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's a very real sentiment that there are populations of individuals who cause problems and make the city and community unsafe and less desirable,” Hollins said. “And Black people, specifically Black men and boys, are at the top of that list.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the high-profile cases reviewed by KQED and The SF Standard feature a mix of suspects, across ethnicities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While public discussion around Asian communities frequently references the need for more safety — pushing that word, \"safety,\" in particular — Hollins said that can be a societally palatable code for pushing out Black people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘Public safety’ right now, I feel like it’s a very covert way of naming it,” she said. It also focuses solutions on incarceration instead of giving mental health help, housing and education to people who may need it in order to reduce incentives for crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, importantly, research shows that steeper charges — which hate crime enhancements would bring — and longer sentencing don’t reduce crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Magnus Lofstrom, senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/proposition-47s-impact-on-racial-disparity-in-criminal-justice-outcomes-june-2020.pdf\">his research on Proposition 47\u003c/a>, which reduced some felony thefts and drug offenses to misdemeanors, has shown that reducing prison populations doesn’t lead to a rise in violent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollins was raised in the Bayview, near where Zhou was attacked, and said she wasn’t surprised that initial attempts to make peace between Zhou and Grayson bore no fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we at all agreed that there are better ways to resolve the kind of social conflicts that come up in our communities, especially when racial tensions are involved,” she said, “you might have a lot more buy-in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both hate crimes and hate incidents are significantly underreported, Lofstrom added. Asian and Pacific Islander immigrant communities face particular barriers to reporting due to insufficient language access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Underreporting is a phenomenon state officials are trying to fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='stop-aapi-hate']Assemblymember Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, authored AB 1947, which would require California law enforcement agencies to standardize data collection on hate crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ting frequently touts San Bernardino as an example of lax data collection. In 2021 the Southern California county didn’t report a single hate crime. “And in a population so large, given everything that’s going on, it’s really hard to believe,” Ting said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collecting that data is especially important, Ting said, so communities can be level-headed about real threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Too often with law enforcement, with public safety, we’re driven by fear,” Ting said, “and we’re driven by anecdotal stories and anecdotal incidents and not really by trends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those sorts of incidents are top of mind for Rita Sinha, a 67-year-old South Asian immigrant living in the SoMa neighborhood for 10 years, who said she already feels less safe in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She used to visit churches like Glide Memorial, libraries, parks, grocery stores and medical facilities, she said, “without fear of being robbed or assaulted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, however, “It’s very scary when you walk outside,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ting’s bill passed the Assembly at the end of May.

A crowd surrounded him to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man, identified in Chinese media as “Mr. Zhou” and in court documents as “Ximing Z.,” was walking his usual route through San Francisco’s Hunters Point neighborhood on Feb. 22, 2020, collecting recyclables to trade in for cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on that particular Saturday, as Zhou, then 68, made his way to the small, one-block stretch of Osceola Lane, he was attacked and robbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 20-year-old, Dwayne Grayson, stood nearby, capturing the incident on his cellphone in footage that later would be viewed by millions as it made the rounds online and on television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grayson can be heard\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbufWls8QRM\"> on the video saying\u003c/a>, “I hate Asians, n— [N-word].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a time of rising hate against Asian communities. Just two days before the attack on Zhou, 84-year-old Rong Xin Liao \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-asian-attack-sf-stop-hate-aapi/10449226/\">was assaulted\u003c/a>. Liao still isn’t sure why someone knocked him to the concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s possible because I am Asian, or I am disabled, so I got picked on,” Liao told The San Francisco Standard in mid-May. He was waiting at a bus stop in the Tenderloin neighborhood, when 22-year-old Eric Ramos-Hernandez was recorded on camera jump-kicking Liao to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early 2021, Thai immigrant Vicha Ratanapakdee, 84, was killed after being forcefully shoved to the ground during his morning walk in San Francisco. The violent incident was caught on video and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/17/magazine/vicha-ratanapakdee.html\">shocked the world\u003c/a>. Ratanapakdee later became the public face of the movement demanding justice and safety for Asian Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ratanapakdee’s daughter, Monthanus Ratanapakdee, told The SF Standard that she believed the fatal violence was “racially motivated” because the pandemic has flared up the hate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All these cases, which attracted a huge wave of media coverage, were among many across the country igniting the national Stop Asian Hate movement. But that hate is rarely reflected in criminal charges, in part because it can be hard to prove an attacker was motivated by race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED and The SF Standard partnered to review a dozen high-profile criminal cases in San Francisco involving Asian and Asian American victims during 2020 and 2021 to unpack the essence of the fear from Asian communities — that the crimes are racially motivated — while shining a light on the aftermath of incidents that quickly enter the public consciousness and then fade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In recent weeks, Black and Asian community leaders have called on law enforcement to push for hate crime enhancements to stem the tide of anti-Asian hate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the dozen reviewed cases, even where alternatives to incarceration were pursued, the promises of that process were ultimately unfulfilled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Skip to: \u003ca href=\"#12cases\">12 high-profile criminal cases reviewed by The SF Standard and KQED\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During 2020 and 2021, anger over these crimes helped fuel an effort to recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. According to a poll conducted by Embold Research for The SF Standard in May, a \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/community/asian-american-voters-support-recall-da-chesa-boudin/\">greater percentage of Asian American voters\u003c/a> support the recall against Boudin than any other ethnic group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While community discussion between Black and Asian leaders has sometimes centered on increasing hate crime charges in San Francisco, other Black leaders say that locking people up only harms communities in the long run, perpetuating a cycle of mass incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, more data collection about hate incidents may lead to better community protection. A new state bill may make that information gathering mandatory if it is ultimately signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A crime victim looks for healing instead of prosecution\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Zhou, the man assaulted while collecting recyclables, lives on the edge — like so many other Asian immigrants in San Francisco who can’t or won’t get government aid, whose limited English makes job-hunting difficult, and who lift blue lids in neighborhoods across the city to sustain themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News reports said Zhou’s experience before the attack in the Hunters Point neighborhood was largely warm and welcoming. In a historically Black neighborhood all-too-familiar with living on the margins, residents would often go out of their way to ensure Zhou’s plastic garbage bag was filled to bursting with discarded cans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s also a neighborhood with a growing Asian population, leading to some animus between the communities. Those raw feelings have become all too public of late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent San Francisco redistricting meeting in City Hall, anger exploded between Asian and Black residents of southeast San Francisco, debating which communities should be granted more representation in a new map of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You say you have solidarity with us when you call us racists, and Nazis, and corporate shills?” \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tv/CcbJeK9OVrA/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=\">said Drew Min, executive director at San Francisco Community Alliance for Unity, Safety, and Education, speaking to the Black community\u003c/a>. He was speaking at a lectern during public comment on the redistricting process, but called out what he saw as a lack of community solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have the guts to speak up for our people, when your people say something,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People in the audience yelled in anger. “He says there’s going to be a new [District 10], that’s what he said. There’s going to be a new D10,” cried out one woman, speaking to the idea of one community being replaced by another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those sentiments have long simmered in San Francisco. For years, community institutions like the Cameron House in Chinatown and Third Baptist Church in the Western Addition have tried to bridge the gaps between Asian and Black people in their respective neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with rising attacks against the AAPI community leading up to and during the pandemic, those tensions came to the fore again in public discussions of hateful incidents. That brings us back to 2020, as an Asian man is thrust into the spotlight as he collects cans in Hunters Point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhou’s attacker, Jonathan Amerson, 56, was recorded standing by a pile of Zhou’s trash bags. He swung at Zhou with what on video looks like a garbage picker, as a crowd looked on. Amerson then allegedly took Zhou’s cart of recycling bags, according to court records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco police later arrested both Amerson and Grayson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for Grayson — the young man who filmed the incident, mocked Zhou, and expressed his hatred in clear terms — the handling of prosecution was more complex since he wasn’t directly involved in the attack; he only recorded it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the DA’s office \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Chesa-Boudin-crime-video-Bayview-Asian-attack-DA-15099780.php#taboola-1\">dropped charges against Grayson\u003c/a> to pursue a more rehabilitation-oriented alternative to traditional prosecution — at Zhou’s request — the media followed closely, framing the story in a way that suggested Boudin was letting Grayson off too easily, even though he was not one of the attackers. Some headlines were misleading, often claiming “charges dropped” against a suspect in the attack, leading many to think charges were dropped against Amerson, the attacker, not Grayson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to KQED’s Political Breakdown hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos on stage at KQED in May, Boudin defended his decision on Grayson, saying recording the attack against Zhou without intervening was “not a good thing,” and his behavior was \"offensive, horrific, racist, disrespectful\" — but “not criminal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She said hate crime charges could have been pursued in Zhou’s case using the hateful slur captured on video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my view, in that case, it did meet the bar,” Jenkins said. “There were statements that made the intentions very clear, and [made] the motivations very clear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grayson and Zhou ultimately did not participate in a restorative justice process together, as they initially intended. That process would’ve seen the two men reconcile their differences, sitting together and talking out what happened. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/restorative-justice/\">In their description of the goal of the San Francisco Restorative Justice Collaborative\u003c/a>, the DA’s office specifically points to the method as a practice to encourage multiracial consensus, and global racial solidarity, particularly aiming to repair the relationship between Asian American and African American communities in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, it was a process designed to address moments of hate just like this one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, authorities steered Grayson into another restorative justice path: neighborhood courts. It’s known as a “diversion” program that focuses on rehabilitation and urges participants to take accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zhou and Grayson couldn’t be reached for comment for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amerson, who was charged with second-degree robbery and inflicting injury on an elder, was released on his own recognizance with a GPS-tracked ankle monitor. His case is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notably, Amerson lacked a permanent home when he was arrested for attacking Zhou.

As such, the office was “ethically obligated” to dismiss the hate crime enhancement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And no hate-related charges were pursued against the suspect who kicked Liao out of his walker in the Tenderloin. According to the latest court documents, Ramos-Hernandez has been referred to mental health treatment and was released with a GPS tracking monitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect pushing Ratanapakdee to death, Antoine Watson, remains in custody and is charged with murder. No hate crime-related charges were filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins, who is one of Boudin’s toughest critics, pointed out the importance of charging hate crimes but also acknowledged that hate crimes are notoriously difficult to charge because they hinge on proving intent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you feel like you’re being targeted for that reason, they want to feel vindicated,” said Jenkins. She added that victims of the crime want to see charges that truly capture and reflect the “full scope of someone's conduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But hate crimes are “one of the only charges that require the DA’s office to prove motive for the underlying crime,” she said. In other words, it requires that someone has made a verbal expression regarding the victim’s identity, or shows a clear pattern of targeting over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two cases with hate crime charges, among the dozen reviewed by KQED and The SF Standard, and both of them reflect those patterns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A serial vandalism suspect, Derik Barreto, was charged by DA Boudin for nearly 30 counts of hate crimes as he allegedly targeted Asian-owned businesses, breaking their windows. Barreto provided a lengthy interview with the police explicitly saying he had some delusions “around the surveillance capabilities of Chinese,” court documents reveal. In this case, Barreto verbally admitted targeting Chinese-owned businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the judge in the case ordered Barreto to be released, even though the DA’s office opposed the decision. After missing his court date, he’s now facing a bench warrant arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other case where hate crime charges emerged involved a suspect robbing multiple Asian women. The suspect, O’Sean Garcia, allegedly showed a pattern of targeting victims with the same racial identity. Garcia was released, too, court records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the DA’s office showed that a total of 20 cases included hate crime charges in 2021, both standalone misdemeanors and hate crime enhancements, which are tacked onto felonies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how many of those 20 cases in 2021 are categorized as anti-Asian as opposed to hate directed toward other identities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not every hateful incident is a crime, as the California Attorney General’s Office laid out in a memo explaining the difference between the two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. Constitution allows hate speech as long as it does not interfere with the civil rights of others,” the office\u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/hatecrimes\"> wrote in the advisory\u003c/a>. “While these acts are certainly hurtful, they do not rise to the level of criminal violations and thus may not be prosecuted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Solving hate through community — and data\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In mid-May, leaders from San Francisco’s Asian and Black communities came together at a press conference at Third Baptist Church in the Western Addition to urge authorities to pursue more hate crime charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Public safety is every human being’s birthright,” SFPD Capt.

But Tinisch Hollins, head of Californians for Safety and Justice, said sometimes people react to crime with efforts that ultimately perpetuate racism, and racial injustice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's a very real sentiment that there are populations of individuals who cause problems and make the city and community unsafe and less desirable,” Hollins said. “And Black people, specifically Black men and boys, are at the top of that list.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the high-profile cases reviewed by KQED and The SF Standard feature a mix of suspects, across ethnicities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While public discussion around Asian communities frequently references the need for more safety — pushing that word, \"safety,\" in particular — Hollins said that can be a societally palatable code for pushing out Black people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘Public safety’ right now, I feel like it’s a very covert way of naming it,” she said. It also focuses solutions on incarceration instead of giving mental health help, housing and education to people who may need it in order to reduce incentives for crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, importantly, research shows that steeper charges — which hate crime enhancements would bring — and longer sentencing don’t reduce crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Magnus Lofstrom, senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/proposition-47s-impact-on-racial-disparity-in-criminal-justice-outcomes-june-2020.pdf\">his research on Proposition 47\u003c/a>, which reduced some felony thefts and drug offenses to misdemeanors, has shown that reducing prison populations doesn’t lead to a rise in violent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollins was raised in the Bayview, near where Zhou was attacked, and said she wasn’t surprised that initial attempts to make peace between Zhou and Grayson bore no fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we at all agreed that there are better ways to resolve the kind of social conflicts that come up in our communities, especially when racial tensions are involved,” she said, “you might have a lot more buy-in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both hate crimes and hate incidents are significantly underreported, Lofstrom added. Asian and Pacific Islander immigrant communities face particular barriers to reporting due to insufficient language access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Underreporting is a phenomenon state officials are trying to fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Because it’s all I’ve ever done,” she said. “And I believe very much in public safety and victims’ rights. And I’ve watched the demise of public safety around California.

Elected district attorney there in 2014, she made headlines for helping\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11664637/suspected-golden-state-killer-a-former-police-officer-arrested-in-sacramento\"> crack the decades-old Golden State Killer case\u003c/a> using forensic DNA and genealogy databases; she also got heat in 2019 when she declined to charge two police officers who shot Stephon Clark to death in his grandmother’s backyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert cites violent crime as a top priority, pledging to advocate in the Legislature for more money for law enforcement and longer criminal sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she says, as attorney general, she would intervene in counties where she feels district attorneys aren’t being tough enough — by filing charges herself. San Francisco and Los Angeles are among the cities she has singled out, both of which have progressive district attorneys who are facing recalls and whom she has frequently targeted.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Anne Marie Schubert, candidate for attorney general\"]‘I believe very much in public safety and victims’ rights.

It’s the issue of violent crime and illegal guns. So, you know, Day One or Week One or Month One … [the job] I think is to get control of violent crime. And that means working on your relationships across California with law enforcement, which I have already,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert is an outspoken critic of many of the state’s recent criminal justice reforms — including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\">Proposition 57\u003c/a>, a 2016 measure that offers shorter sentences to some prisoners who participate in rehabilitation programs. As attorney general, Schubert says she would help lead the push to change those types of laws. In the shorter term, she says, partnering with — and better funding — police agencies is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert also says the state needs to do a better job making sure programs aimed at helping criminal offenders actually work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not just rehabilitation within the prison walls, but the reentry plans, the supervision that’s necessary,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert says she is pro-abortion rights and will defend the “constitutional right for a woman to have an abortion,” as well as all other state laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am deeply disturbed and, quite frankly, shocked that our [U.S.] Supreme Court would overrule 50 years of legal precedent,” she said in a written statement, in response to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473\">recent leak of a draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Additionally, the concept that some states would criminalize a woman’s decision to seek an abortion is outrageous to me,” she added. “As a career prosecutor, I’ve had cases where women and children were raped and impregnated by their rapist. It’s reprehensible that some states want to ban a woman’s right to choose even under these acts of violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on another hot-button issue — gun control — Schubert says the state needs more enforcement of existing laws, not new limits on guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get that there’s people like Rob Bonta that want to pass more gun control, more gun control, more gun control,” she said. “This is a crime-control issue. This is about taking that gun out of the hands of convicted felons and the prohibited person that shouldn’t have it.”[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Because it’s all I’ve ever done,” she said. “And I believe very much in public safety and victims’ rights. And I’ve watched the demise of public safety around California.

So, you know, Day One or Week One or Month One … [the job] I think is to get control of violent crime. And that means working on your relationships across California with law enforcement, which I have already,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert is an outspoken critic of many of the state’s recent criminal justice reforms — including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\">Proposition 57\u003c/a>, a 2016 measure that offers shorter sentences to some prisoners who participate in rehabilitation programs. As attorney general, Schubert says she would help lead the push to change those types of laws. In the shorter term, she says, partnering with — and better funding — police agencies is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert also says the state needs to do a better job making sure programs aimed at helping criminal offenders actually work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not just rehabilitation within the prison walls, but the reentry plans, the supervision that’s necessary,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert says she is pro-abortion rights and will defend the “constitutional right for a woman to have an abortion,” as well as all other state laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am deeply disturbed and, quite frankly, shocked that our [U.S.] Supreme Court would overrule 50 years of legal precedent,” she said in a written statement, in response to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473\">recent leak of a draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Additionally, the concept that some states would criminalize a woman’s decision to seek an abortion is outrageous to me,” she added. “As a career prosecutor, I’ve had cases where women and children were raped and impregnated by their rapist. It’s reprehensible that some states want to ban a woman’s right to choose even under these acts of violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on another hot-button issue — gun control — Schubert says the state needs more enforcement of existing laws, not new limits on guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get that there’s people like Rob Bonta that want to pass more gun control, more gun control, more gun control,” she said. “This is a crime-control issue. This is about taking that gun out of the hands of convicted felons and the prohibited person that shouldn’t have it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now, the language that they used is consistent with this ideology that has infected white men, not just in the last few years, but throughout history. As was said, once there is progress, there is this backlash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California isn’t immune. California, since its inception, has been adversarial against people of color, particularly Asian people and Black people. So when we see what happens in Buffalo, we can’t think that that can’t happen here. What that tells me is that this idea that was once on the fringe is mainstream and it’s crisscrossing the country and more and more people will be impacted by that violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And just to underscore that this is in California: One of the killings that’s being brought up was the [2019] \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/us/synagogue-shooting.html\">attack on the Poway synagogue\u003c/a> and how the 19-year-old gunman there also posted this racist screed full of antisemitic and racist statements about the European race needing to be protected. I mean, we see it here, we’ve seen it in Charlottesville [Virginia], in Charleston [South Carolina], and in El Paso [Texas].

They all copycat each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group that also gets attacked — and it’s important for people to know — is white people.

I’ll give you a very quick example: This terrorist who shot and killed 10 people in Buffalo was inspired by a terrorist who shot and killed more than 50 Muslims \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/new-zealand-mosque-shootings\">in Christchurch, New Zealand\u003c/a>. That terrorist was inspired by [the man] who killed more than 80 people in Norway.

In fact, the Anti-Defamation League issued our most recent study that shows propaganda distribution remains at historic levels across the entire country in 2021. We reported over 4,800 cases of racist, antisemitic and other hateful messages that proliferate throughout the internet, throughout banners, flyer drops, stickers that we see put up on campuses, in neighborhoods. And, you know, we’re not seeing an end to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does the internet influence people’s determination to commit these acts?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TERESA DRENICK: \u003c/strong>Given the rise of social media and the ease with which messaging can be sent instantaneously throughout the cyberspace, these specific regional white supremacist and hate groups are operating everywhere all the time and influencing young people, influencing people who are going to these websites.

TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> Just to underscore how much a problem this is, the U.S. Department of Justice launched a unit in January to investigate domestic terrorism. This problem has been able to proliferate because of the easy access to connecting with people through social media. Take, for example, what happened in Buffalo. It was livestreamed. That is intentional, not only to spread fear, but also to encourage others to participate in these kinds of acts of premeditated violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, the platform Twitch says they took [the video] down within two minutes. But that video is readily accessible on any number of platforms right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is about white fear and what happens when that fear reaches a boiling point. People act out and there’s people who will pay the consequences of that fear. In fact, we have an entire party that is based on how to escalate that fear: how can they tap into that fear so they can win elections, not to help people, but just to spread more fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So let’s talk about that proliferation. Liz Cheney said [in a tweet], “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.” So, this is Liz Cheney, a GOP leader, saying this and also tweeting that GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them. So explain why, Wajahat, that the GOP needs to take responsibility as well?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I mean, don’t take my word for it. Listen to Liz Cheney. She’s finally taking ownership over what the GOP and the right-wing movement have been doing for more than 50 years, through the Southern strategy, which has been using these racist dog whistles to try to do a divide-and-conquer tactic between white workers and Black, Latino and Asian workers that is trying to stoke this racial anxiety and cultural anxiety, trying to terrify them, that they’re being replaced by the Mexican laborers or the Muslims or the Asian Americans who spell really well: “They’re the ones taking our job.”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Teresa Drenick, deputy director, Anti-Defamation League's Central Pacific Region\"]‘The data is showing that throughout the United States, we are seeing just an incredible rise and proliferation of white supremacist propaganda.’[/pullquote]It’s what we saw Donald Trump do with this just open bigotry: “We need a Muslim ban,” and, “The invaders are coming.” And right when he said that, right before the 2018 midterm elections, that same language was used as rationalization to \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/US/pittsburgh-synagogue-shooting-portraits-11-victims/story?id=58823835\">attack the Tree of Life Synagogue\u003c/a> in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and killed 11 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, why do I say the Republican Party is responsible? Because even though this Buffalo terrorist was not handed a gun by Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik and GOP leaders in the right-wing ecosystem nonetheless dipped the bullets in the same ideological poison. They emerged from the same ideological infrastructure. Elise Stefanik decided last year to take out Facebook ads promoting the replacement theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you can’t even condemn the replacement theory, if you can’t even condemn a white supremacist conspiracy theory, then what does that say about your party? And here we are. And they still haven’t condemned it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I want to dig in a little bit in terms of how this ideology is expressed on TV. What’s different about the way this speech is presented on TV versus what we were just discussing about the internet?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> White supremacists used to have hoods and robes designed for them. Now they wear designer clothes, designer suits. They no longer need to wear a mask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“America First” and “Make America Great Again” have nothing to do with the citizens of this country. It is about promoting ideology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when you watch Tucker Carlson, it’s, “Hey, I’m just questioning this. This is what a good journalist does. And the fact that I’m questioning this, does that make me a racist?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He almost makes a mockery of anyone who wants to express a desire to help people of color that have long been marginalized and oppressed in this country. In fact, there’s the culture war brewing in this race to get the Republican nomination of who can be the most racist, who can be the most anti-woke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is nothing that’s different. This is what the [modern] Republican Party has always been about messaging, about being pro-life, about securing our borders, because the coded language there is, “They’re coming for your jobs. They’re coming for your family. They’re coming for our white women. They’re coming to sell you drugs.” And Tucker Carlson has benefited from that because his audience is largely white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>But influential Republican leaders, like Elise Stefanik, are quick to denounce these acts of violence and insist they have never advocated for any racist positions. So unpack that for us.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I’ve never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? I’ve never met anyone. Even the KKK weren’t racist. When you ask the KKK, they said, “We’re not racist. We’re just trying to defend the white race, we’re just trying to defend the white people. That’s all. We’re fine with Black people if they just go to their own countries.” Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it’s impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so there’s a couple of tactics that the right wing does. Tucker tries to Trojan-horse these white supremacist talking points on a show by doing the following: “I’m just asking questions. Can’t we just ask questions? Here, let me Trojan-horse this by asking a question.”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Wajahat Ali, writer\"]‘I’ve never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? … Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it’s impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.’[/pullquote]By doing this repeatedly, you move over to the window of … what [once] was considered forbidden that is now considered acceptable discourse. Then the second thing they do is, “Well, we’re just kidding. Well, we’re just joking.” Or, “We’re not just journalists. We’re not reporters. We’re just entertainers. We’re just joking. These are just jokes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then the third thing they do is a projection — deflection. They project onto the majority what they’re actually doing. “It’s actually you, the left, that’s radical. It’s actually you, the liberals who are racist. In fact, you and Otis are the race hustlers playing the race game by calling everyone else a racist.” That’s your deflection. You call all of us white supremacists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what we say is, no, I’m calling you white supremacists because you act and behave and talk like a white supremacist. And the failure of institutions and the majority and many — not you — of our media colleagues is they fall for it like Charlie Brown and Lucy in the football episode. And they do both-sides analysis. That’s the same thing as the right wing with its wealth of white supremacist talking points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides are extreme, and that’s how you launder and mainstream and Trojan-horse what was once fringe white supremacist talking points into mainstream talking points that are now believed by half of Republican voters and a third of American voters. And this is how you normalize hate. It’s happening right before our eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, what can we do about this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.\u003c/strong>:\u003c/b> What we’re seeing is what I believe is a lack of representation. The Bay Area is 60% people of color. California, the state, is majority people of color. But the majority of representatives in Sacramento and in Bay Area politics are white people. In fact, in the Bay Area, it’s 60% white people who represent the majority people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI: \u003c/strong>I get asked this question a lot: “I’m nobody and I’m not on TV like you. And what can I do? I’m overwhelmed. There’s so many problems.” And I always say, “I love nobodies. Some of my favorite people are nobodies. I’m a nobody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the day, we can only control our own intentions and our own actions. And I understand that everyone’s overwhelmed. And so what I would recommend people doing is the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 1, have awareness, be aware of what’s happened in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 2, make an intention to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And No. 3, then act. Act at the local level. First and foremost, act at the local level. Specifically, these forces that want to literally flatten us and violently remove us, are taking over school boards, city councils, medical boards. There’s no reason why you — yes, you listening right now — cannot run for office. Look at some of the Republicans who are elected. The bar is low. I want you to run for office. I want you to represent yourself in your community. I want you to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they want us to do is be intimidated. We get intimidated. We don’t show up. They take over. They want us to cede the ground. We have the numbers. We just need to flex the numbers. We have the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d also say, be the America you want this country to be in your daily actions. If you’re a parent, model this type of language and these values in your home. You’ll be influencing generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re at a workplace, speak up, speak out, speak out for others to change the culture of your workplace. Look for equity, equal wages, opportunities. Reach out to folks who are marginalized and try to bring them in, mentor them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to media, call up your local newspaper, be a resource for them or speak up. Say something like, “Hey, how come you didn’t have a voice talking about X, Y and Z?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then also, vote if you can, because the largest group that does not vote is the people who can vote but don’t vote. Right, everyone says Republicans and Democrats. The biggest chunk of the pie are people who are eligible to vote in this country and they choose not to vote. You have to vote. Don’t be on the sidelines. Don’t choose apathy. Don’t choose cynicism. We have to have you to invest in hope and invest in this country. And that means getting in the ring and being made to be felt uncomfortable and making other people feel uncomfortable. This is the only way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, you have to build a multicultural coalition of the willing. This is affecting all of us. So reach out and link up with other groups because we have the numbers. We have to flex them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Now, the language that they used is consistent with this ideology that has infected white men, not just in the last few years, but throughout history. As was said, once there is progress, there is this backlash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California isn’t immune. California, since its inception, has been adversarial against people of color, particularly Asian people and Black people. So when we see what happens in Buffalo, we can’t think that that can’t happen here. What that tells me is that this idea that was once on the fringe is mainstream and it’s crisscrossing the country and more and more people will be impacted by that violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And just to underscore that this is in California: One of the killings that’s being brought up was the [2019] \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/us/synagogue-shooting.html\">attack on the Poway synagogue\u003c/a> and how the 19-year-old gunman there also posted this racist screed full of antisemitic and racist statements about the European race needing to be protected. I mean, we see it here, we’ve seen it in Charlottesville [Virginia], in Charleston [South Carolina], and in El Paso [Texas]. We’re at a point where people are feeling incredibly inundated.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> Oftentimes we live in our own silos and we say, “We’re overwhelmed. That’s [someone else’s] issue.” But white supremacy is coming after all of us. Like you mentioned, this replacement theory has been the radicalizing ideology that inspired mass shooters in New Zealand and El Paso, Texas, and now Buffalo, New York. They all copycat each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group that also gets attacked — and it’s important for people to know — is white people. White people who do not subscribe to this ideology or white people who are allies [to people of color] are seen as race traitors, and in American history, they were also seen as targets who were killed and shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a national security threat.

TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> Just to underscore how much a problem this is, the U.S. Department of Justice launched a unit in January to investigate domestic terrorism. This problem has been able to proliferate because of the easy access to connecting with people through social media. Take, for example, what happened in Buffalo. It was livestreamed. That is intentional, not only to spread fear, but also to encourage others to participate in these kinds of acts of premeditated violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, the platform Twitch says they took [the video] down within two minutes. But that video is readily accessible on any number of platforms right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is about white fear and what happens when that fear reaches a boiling point. People act out and there’s people who will pay the consequences of that fear. In fact, we have an entire party that is based on how to escalate that fear: how can they tap into that fear so they can win elections, not to help people, but just to spread more fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So let’s talk about that proliferation. Liz Cheney said [in a tweet], “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.” So, this is Liz Cheney, a GOP leader, saying this and also tweeting that GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them. So explain why, Wajahat, that the GOP needs to take responsibility as well?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I mean, don’t take my word for it. Listen to Liz Cheney. She’s finally taking ownership over what the GOP and the right-wing movement have been doing for more than 50 years, through the Southern strategy, which has been using these racist dog whistles to try to do a divide-and-conquer tactic between white workers and Black, Latino and Asian workers that is trying to stoke this racial anxiety and cultural anxiety, trying to terrify them, that they’re being replaced by the Mexican laborers or the Muslims or the Asian Americans who spell really well: “They’re the ones taking our job.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Because even though this Buffalo terrorist was not handed a gun by Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik and GOP leaders in the right-wing ecosystem nonetheless dipped the bullets in the same ideological poison. They emerged from the same ideological infrastructure. Elise Stefanik decided last year to take out Facebook ads promoting the replacement theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you can’t even condemn the replacement theory, if you can’t even condemn a white supremacist conspiracy theory, then what does that say about your party? And here we are. And they still haven’t condemned it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I want to dig in a little bit in terms of how this ideology is expressed on TV. What’s different about the way this speech is presented on TV versus what we were just discussing about the internet?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> White supremacists used to have hoods and robes designed for them. Now they wear designer clothes, designer suits. They no longer need to wear a mask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“America First” and “Make America Great Again” have nothing to do with the citizens of this country. It is about promoting ideology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when you watch Tucker Carlson, it’s, “Hey, I’m just questioning this. This is what a good journalist does. And the fact that I’m questioning this, does that make me a racist?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He almost makes a mockery of anyone who wants to express a desire to help people of color that have long been marginalized and oppressed in this country. In fact, there’s the culture war brewing in this race to get the Republican nomination of who can be the most racist, who can be the most anti-woke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is nothing that’s different. This is what the [modern] Republican Party has always been about messaging, about being pro-life, about securing our borders, because the coded language there is, “They’re coming for your jobs. They’re coming for your family. They’re coming for our white women. They’re coming to sell you drugs.” And Tucker Carlson has benefited from that because his audience is largely white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>But influential Republican leaders, like Elise Stefanik, are quick to denounce these acts of violence and insist they have never advocated for any racist positions. So unpack that for us.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I’ve never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? I’ve never met anyone. Even the KKK weren’t racist. When you ask the KKK, they said, “We’re not racist. We’re just trying to defend the white race, we’re just trying to defend the white people. That’s all. We’re fine with Black people if they just go to their own countries.” Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it’s impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so there’s a couple of tactics that the right wing does. Tucker tries to Trojan-horse these white supremacist talking points on a show by doing the following: “I’m just asking questions. Can’t we just ask questions? Here, let me Trojan-horse this by asking a question.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Then the second thing they do is, “Well, we’re just kidding. Well, we’re just joking.” Or, “We’re not just journalists. We’re not reporters. We’re just entertainers. We’re just joking. These are just jokes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then the third thing they do is a projection — deflection. They project onto the majority what they’re actually doing. “It’s actually you, the left, that’s radical. It’s actually you, the liberals who are racist. In fact, you and Otis are the race hustlers playing the race game by calling everyone else a racist.” That’s your deflection. You call all of us white supremacists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what we say is, no, I’m calling you white supremacists because you act and behave and talk like a white supremacist. And the failure of institutions and the majority and many — not you — of our media colleagues is they fall for it like Charlie Brown and Lucy in the football episode. And they do both-sides analysis. That’s the same thing as the right wing with its wealth of white supremacist talking points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides are extreme, and that’s how you launder and mainstream and Trojan-horse what was once fringe white supremacist talking points into mainstream talking points that are now believed by half of Republican voters and a third of American voters. And this is how you normalize hate. It’s happening right before our eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, what can we do about this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.\u003c/strong>:\u003c/b> What we’re seeing is what I believe is a lack of representation. The Bay Area is 60% people of color. California, the state, is majority people of color. But the majority of representatives in Sacramento and in Bay Area politics are white people. In fact, in the Bay Area, it’s 60% white people who represent the majority people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI: \u003c/strong>I get asked this question a lot: “I’m nobody and I’m not on TV like you. And what can I do? I’m overwhelmed. There’s so many problems.” And I always say, “I love nobodies. Some of my favorite people are nobodies. I’m a nobody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the day, we can only control our own intentions and our own actions. And I understand that everyone’s overwhelmed. And so what I would recommend people doing is the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 1, have awareness, be aware of what’s happened in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 2, make an intention to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And No. 3, then act. Act at the local level. First and foremost, act at the local level. Specifically, these forces that want to literally flatten us and violently remove us, are taking over school boards, city councils, medical boards. There’s no reason why you — yes, you listening right now — cannot run for office. Look at some of the Republicans who are elected. The bar is low. I want you to run for office. I want you to represent yourself in your community. I want you to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they want us to do is be intimidated. We get intimidated. We don’t show up. They take over. They want us to cede the ground. We have the numbers. We just need to flex the numbers. We have the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d also say, be the America you want this country to be in your daily actions. If you’re a parent, model this type of language and these values in your home. You’ll be influencing generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re at a workplace, speak up, speak out, speak out for others to change the culture of your workplace. Look for equity, equal wages, opportunities. Reach out to folks who are marginalized and try to bring them in, mentor them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to media, call up your local newspaper, be a resource for them or speak up. Say something like, “Hey, how come you didn’t have a voice talking about X, Y and Z?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then also, vote if you can, because the largest group that does not vote is the people who can vote but don’t vote. Right, everyone says Republicans and Democrats. The biggest chunk of the pie are people who are eligible to vote in this country and they choose not to vote. You have to vote. Don’t be on the sidelines. Don’t choose apathy. Don’t choose cynicism. We have to have you to invest in hope and invest in this country. And that means getting in the ring and being made to be felt uncomfortable and making other people feel uncomfortable. This is the only way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, you have to build a multicultural coalition of the willing. This is affecting all of us. So reach out and link up with other groups because we have the numbers. We have to flex them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
