10 people dead in a shooting in Monterey Park, CA.



I saw some celebrities on social media jump to the Asian victimhood angle as soon as it happened, saying things like, "the shooter targeted our community on Lunar New Year" or "Why isn't this story getting more attention? Is it because we're Asian?" blah blah blah. I was immediately skeptical of this being the media's typical narrative of 'right wing, white male shooter' because whenever a suspect is non-white, they don't immediately give that info. Whenever a shooter is white, however, the media can't wait to play the 'white supremacy' angle.

Sure enough, as more info came out, the shooter was an Asian. This story will likely go away without too much more media craze. If this had been a white shooter, you bet your ass the media would have an absolute frenzy over this.

btw - not that it should matter, but I'm Asian. The woke media don't give two shits about Asians. They will use us as cannon fodder for their polarizing, racist fear-mongering as it suits them. And when we Asians don't suit their agenda, they call us 'white-adjacent.' EFFFFF YOUUUU

I know people buy fake degrees online all day, but I didn't know you could get one for nursing.

There was a teacher at a school where I used to work at that brought a Master's online from somewhere in Latin America. Everyone was talking smack about her because she received a $20k pay increase lol.
