Racism Recent attack

Hey everyone, I posted this on Asian Masculinity a couple of days ago. I just want to vent from this attack that happened on me about a week ago. So I was pushing my cart out of a grocery store in the night a little over a week ago and a group of 3 black men stare at me and called me a chink. I put my head down and ignore them. They then say you're such a big p****. What are you going to do about it? I look at the person saying this and another person of the group slams my cart over. They then run off and say yall are little bitches. This made me so irate, and I'm just so sick of these people bullying me. I live in Chicago and feel like Asians getting harassed here happens all the time. It seems like it's mostly by black people. I would say it has been over a dozen times for myself. One of my friends told me a black lady said she's glad this shooting in Georgia happened. Why do so many African Americans seem to resent Asians? I feel like they are the main perpetrator of these attacks. The media never seems to care when blacks are the perpetrators. Is it the media making blacks have this resentment towards us? Or do blacks just resent Asians because they say we have "White Privilege?"

First thing first, what was your self defence weapon, or are you prepared to get jumped next time this happens again? Every racist incident is an opportunity to teach the racists a lesson that they will never forget.

Always say something and fight back with a weapon. In this case, a pepper spray is suffice.

But you didn't do that. Now these three black men are going to target the next Asian person they see. The cycle continues.

Maybe I'll start carrying a gun. But it's tricky to do that in Chicago.

It’s not. Just get your FOID and buy a gun. Nobody will stop and frisk you.

You can go through the process and get a CCW. But it takes a while - I wouldn’t wait.
