'White supremacy' to blame for Black-on-Asian hate crimes, Colorado professor claims

A critical race studies and ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder says Americans wondering why Black citizens commit anti-Asian hate crimes have an answer: “White supremacy.”

The educational watchdog Campus Reform spotlighted the commentary of Jennifer Ho, which precededPresident Biden’s newly signed legislation aimed at combatting hate crimes against Asian Americans.

“Anti-Asian racism has the same source as anti-Black racism: White supremacy,” Ms. Ho wrote for The Conversation. “So when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very specifically by White supremacy. White supremacy does not require a White person to perpetuate it.”
