?? huh?
If anything, it feels safer in Irvine than some other areas of Orange County. Safety in numbers. Masking and general observance of Covid precautions is commonplace and never get any hassle about it.
I would never have been interested in living in places like Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Coto, or Ladera Ranch, but feel more strongly about that sentiment nowadays.

I don?t know about safety in numbers. I saw the video of the old guy get kicked by the dude with the husky and no one came to help. Granted there weren?t many people there to actually help.
Perhaps less likely to get attacked due to a higher Asian population.

Kenkoko said:Dangerous ? I have a Chinese face but never felt that in Irvine.
I will say that the only thing changed recently was receiving quite a bit of well wishes via texts and DMs. Mostly from non-Asian friends not living in Irvine.
Anti-Chinese sentiment has been increasing in the past couple of years tho.
Last year, an older white lady on the opposite side of my street called me Chinaman in front of my daughter & told us to go back home and not spread the virus.

It's clear there isn't a racial motivation from the full uncut video (link below). It's just a problem of an asshole kid that did not leash his dog and committed a crime against an elderly person who whipped his dog. The kid is in the wrong here (twice), but don't try and spin this into a race thing. You act like the kid was trying to target the old man because of his race. It's clear he was just jogging by with an unleashed dog and severely overreacted to a man whipping his dog.

I don't know why IPD cut the original video. Why not show the full unedited video from both angles?

It?s clear the old guy is swinging something at the dog.
Also, clear the old man?s dog isn?t on leash either..
JIMHO, looking like a two wrongs situation. Still totally unnecessary to assault the old guy.

According to the CSUSB report that documents the 150% increase in hate crimes against Asians, the epicenters are:
New York City - 28
Bay Area (SJ/SF) - 19
Los Angeles - 15
Boston - 14
After that, the numbers drop to 6 or less for all other cities, and they didn't measure hate crimes in suburbs or rural areas.
