9/20/12 NBC 10 Philadelphia: "SugarHouse Winners Targeted, 4 Robberies Reported: Cops; One victim, 
who is 8 months pregnant, spoke exclusively to NBC10 about the attack that happened after she and her 
husband left the casino,"
By Rosemary Connors and Lauren DiSanto
    Philadelphia Police tell NBC10 there have been at least four incidents in the past few months where 
winners from SugarHouse Casino were robbed after returning home. According to both police and the 
victims, the robbers share a similar description and could be specifically targeting Asian casino winners.
    The most recent incident happened early Wednesday when two family members were robbed as they 
returned home to the 2800 block of Welsh Street.
    Another victim, who was robbed early Sunday, is 8 months pregnant.  She says she was attacked after 
leaving SugarHouse with her husband.
    Surveillance video captured by a neighbor's security camera shows the woman and her husband being 
ambushed right after they arrived back home in their Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood.
    The victim, who did not want to be identified, says the two men were armed with tasers.
    She spent three days in the hospital recovering from her injuries. The woman tells NBC10 she feels 
like they were being watched as they cashed out their winnings.
    The woman had $8,000 dollars in her purse, along with her mother's diamond ring that she was 
planning to take to the jewelers.
    SugarHouse Casino released the following statement late Wednesday night:
    "SugarHouse is cooperating fully with police as they investigate the alleged profiling of Asian players. 
Nothing is more important than the safety of our guests. With 500 surveillance cameras, we are 
providing law enforcement countless photos to quickly apprehend these thugs," said Wendy Hamilton, 
General Manager.

6/22/12 New York Times: "Why Vincent Chin Matters,"
by Frank H. Wu
    On June 23, 1982, in Detroit, a young man named Vincent Chin died. Four nights earlier, he had
been enjoying his bachelor party with friends at a local bar when they were accosted by two white 
men, who blamed them for the success of Japan’s auto industry. “It’s because of you we’re out of 
work,” they were said to have shouted, adding a word that can’t be printed here. The men 
bludgeoned Mr. Chin, 27, with a baseball bat until his head cracked open.

6/22/12 AALDEF blog: "Ronald Ebens, the man who killed Vincent Chin, apologizes 30 years later,"
by Emil Guillermo
    Ronald Ebens says he's sorry for the beating death of Vincent Chin on June 19, 1982, 30 years ago 
in Detroit. But for many Asian Americans, he can't say sorry enough.
    For the 30th anniversary, after writing about the case for years, I just wanted to hear him express his 
regret, so that I could put the case behind me.
    So I called him up. And he talked to me.

6/14/12 Huntington News (WV): "`Teens' Attack Whites, Asian-Americans in Chicago," 
by David M. Kinchen 
    As the temperatures rise in Chicago, the nation's third largest city, attacks by black '"teens" 
are on the rise, although you wouldn't know it from the politically correct news reports. The attacks
follow the patterns of last year's "wildings" in Philadelphia, Milwaukee and at the Wisconsin State Fair, with 
mobs of young blacks attacking whites and others.
    If you read the CBS News report (link:http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/06/13/surveillance-pictures-released-in-mob-attack-on-cta-red-line/ ) 
you'll have to look far down in the story to discover that the "teens" are black and the victims are whites or 
Asian-Americans -- typical of the politically correct newswriting and editing practiced by the liberal media.

her bag.
    "I fought them off but they hit me in the face and broke my nose," he said. "My vision was blurred

    "These kind of attacks happen all the time, especially to Asians," said Mr Shi, who runs a driving
school in the Belleville neighbourhood of Paris and has been mugged twice.
    "My wife has had her mobile phone stolen at least five times," he said. "Every day people are 
being attacked and beaten up, so we're scared."

6/15/11 The Cornell Daily Sun: "Police Arrest Teenager for Alleged West Campus Assault,"
By Juan Forrer
    Cornell University Police arrested and charged Viktor P. Nikulin, 19, Tuesday for what police say 
may have been a racially motivated assault against an Asian male who was riding his bicycle on 
campus.
    On June 5, three individuals in a vehicle yelled racial epithets at a student [6] of Asian descent 
riding his bicycle on College Avenue near the intersection of Campus Road, police said. The vehicle
followed the victim onto West Avenue where Nikulin allegedly exited the vehicle and assaulted him.
The victim was treated for injuries at Cayuga Medical Center and released.
    Nikulin, who is not a Cornell student, was arraigned Tuesday in the City of Ithaca Court and 
released on his own recognizance. Cornell Police have been in discussions with the Tompkins 
County District Attorney's office to determine whether the assault can be prosecuted as a hate crime.
    Chief of Police Kathy Zoner said that CUPD, working through leads from witnesses, contacted 
Nikulin and asked him to come into Barton Hall, where he was arrested. 
    While police initially reported four individuals in the vehicle, the description of the incident was 
later revised to only three people.
    The other two individuals in the vehicle have not been charged, Zoner said. It will be up to the 
District Attorney’s office to determine if charges will be filed against the other two individuals, she said.
    President David Skorton and Susan Murphy ’73, vice president of student and academic services,
condemned the attack in a statement issued June 8.
    “We are relieved to report that the victim of this incident is expected to recover fully, we are 
dismayed that such an incident should have occurred at all in our community,” Skorton and Murphy 
said in the joint statement.

12/31/10 Poughkeepsie Journal:  "Cops: Burglaries near NYC target Asians, like local string over summer 
by Emily Stewart 
    Town of Poughkeepsie police are warning residents about a series of burglaries in Westchester County 
and Stamford, Conn., apparently targeted at Asian-Americans.
    There have been no recent reports of similar incidents in Dutchess County, but over the summer town 
police investigated a string of burglaries involving victims with Asian surnames. Five burglaries were 
reported in June and July in a large housing development off Spackenkill Road, town Police Chief Thomas
Mauro said.
    There were 10 additional burglaries in nearby towns, including East Fishkill, Union Vale, LaGrange, 
Beekman and Wappinger involving victims with Asian surnames. In most cases, thieves took cash, jewelry
and identification documents, Mauro said.
    Similar thefts have occurred elsewhere in the greater New York area. Most incidents took place during 
the daytime when residents were not at home, he said.
    In September, the New York Police Department arrested a Queens man authorities believe was involved
in break-ins targeted at Asian-Americans, according to police and written reports.
    Town of Greenburgh police in Westchester confirmed Tuesday they are investigating a series of 
burglaries apparently targeting people of South Asian descent. However, not all of the burglaries have 
specifically targeted South Asians.
    Mauro advises residents to follow "simple crime prevention tips" to reduce the odds of being targeted.
• Lock all doors and windows properly.
• Secure valuables in a safe or safe-deposit box.
• Install exterior lights with motion detectors.
• Consider a home alarm system.
• If you are away from home for a period of time, have the driveway cleared of snow and mail retrieved 
from the box.

their faces covered with masks or bandannas, the crew forced the victims to open a safe, then 
fled with cash.

6/14/10 The Anniston Star: "Alabama’s hate-crime rate,"
by our readers
    The FBI says hate crime incidents per 100,000 for 2008 were 2.9 percent nationwide. 
New Jersey had the highest rate with 8.6, and Alabama had the lowest rate with 0.4. Are 
Alabama law enforcement agencies accurately reporting hate crimes?
    For example, a recent incident in a Montgomery high school involved an Asian-
American student and one or more African-American students. The high school is 94 
percent African-American and very, very few students of Asian descent. If the incident 
involved an African-American student and white student in a school that was 94 percent 
white with very, very few African-Americans, then activists would be leading marches and 
giving interviews on national TV proclaiming “hate crime, hate crime.”
    I am not convinced Alabama has the lowest hate crime rate in the United States. The 
incident cited above may be a hate crime but not reported as one.

5/16/10 Associated Press: "Attacks on Asian-Americans lead to racial tension,"
By Juliana Barbassa
    San Francisco — Mrs. Cheng feels like she's living under siege in her own home.
    In January, an 83-year-old neighbor, also a Chinese immigrant, was beaten into a 
coma. Days after he died in March, Mrs. Cheng, 53, was attacked and pushed off a public 
transit platform, coming to minutes later with front teeth knocked out and her mouth full of

5/10/10 cbs5.com (San Francisco): "Bay Area Ex-Con Admits To Targeting Asians,"
http://cbs5.com/local/asian.crime.targets.2.1686348.html  
    Recent attacks on Asian-Americans have stoked racial tensions in some Bay Area 
communities. One African-American ex-con admits to targeting Asians, but says he didn't 
do it out of hate. 
    Ananze Emenike talks about robbing Asians like it was no big deal - during his teen 
years, it wasn't. 
    "We got busted for a hate crime, due to the fact that when they linked us to the other 
robberies…they were 75-85 per cent Asian," recalled Emenike. 
    Emenike's reign of terror ended with his arrest in 2007 at the age of 17. Ananze said 
he once targeted Asians, but not because he had any animosity toward his victims. He 
said he chose Asian victims due to a perception that they carried a lot of money, wouldn't 
fight back, and wouldn't go to police because of a language barrier. 
    "We would go places where we knew Asians would carry a lot of money. Like for a 
good example Stonestown. That was a place we knew lots of Asians came and spent a
lot of money," he recalled. 
    Race played a part in Emenike's robberies. His victims were targeted because of 
race, but for specific reasons, they presented for him a crime of opportunity. We can't tell 
you about all such crimes, but it does offer a different perspective to the debate.
    Emenike has cleaned up his act, after spending time in prison. He's now a video 
producer for the news agency Youth Outlook.



5/6/10 New America Media: "San Francisco's 'Black on Chinese' Violence Goes Back 
Decades."
http://news.ncmonline.com/news/view_article.html?article_id=dbcb572a81ab28c969cae0c307f408ae
Commentary by Hubert V. Yee
    African-American and Asian-American elected and appointed officials have failed to 
address the growing racial tensions in southeast San Francisco.
    Growing up as an Asian American in southeast San Francisco was not easy. Safety 
was a huge issue for all residents. We heard gunshots at night and sirens wailing past 
our homes. Our neighbors and family members heard stories about other neighbors and
family members becoming victims of crimes by a segment of the African-American 
community.
    When I was 16, I was attacked by eight African Americans while riding Muni’s 15 Third 
bus line. I was spit on. We fought. I was beaten unconscious and remained out for a few 
seconds. I am reminded every day that I was beaten for no apparent reason when I look in 
the mirror and see my scar.
    My mother and father were also victims. I remember waking up hearing my mom and 
dad screaming. I ran downstairs to see my mom and dad being robbed and assaulted 
in front of our home by two African Americans. 
    These criminals target Asian Americans because we are seen as weak, unorganized, 
foreign, and as “walking ATM machines.” We are racialized in many of these instances of 
violence.
    Our pain has not been felt or heard by so-called elected representatives, black and 
Asian alike. Sophie Maxwell, who represents District 10 on the Board of Supervisors, has 
said little. Others, like Human Rights Commissioner Yvonne Lee, have provided a false 
historical narrative of the violence. At a recent commission meeting, Lee said these 
incidents have only occurred in the “past several years.”
    As a resident of the neighborhood for more than 25 years, I disagree.
    Supervisor David Chiu said on TV that these instances were not racially motivated. 
I disagree. The violence is racial. Asian Americans are seen as easy victims.
    In order to heal, these “racialized” assumptions and misperceptions about Asian 
Americans need to be acknowledged. We need community development projects that 
involve multiracial interaction to dispel such racist stereotypes. In 2005, I created a youth 
program, APIYLDP, that explored the African-American experience and the Asian-
American experience in District 10 with a group of multiracial youth and multiple 
nonprofits. Asian-American youth learned about the African-American experience 
through community immersion, fieldwork and research. Research conducted by youth 
documented racial misunderstandings between Asian-American and African-American 
youth. Results showed that the youth participating in this project better understood the 
commonalities and the struggles the two communities shared.
    Efforts to continue the dialogue between Asian-American and African-American 
youth are hopeful solutions to the growing despair facing many Asian Americans in the
Bay View and Visitation Valley. We must focus on developing our community through 
multiracial coalitions and continually hold accountable not only District 10 Supervisor 
Sophie Maxwell, but also those who claim to be our voice: Asian-American elected and
appointed officials.
    All San Francisco residents, including those in District 10, should feel safe riding a 
bus, walking to school and being in their homes.
    Hubert V. Yee has been a resident of San Francisco's District 10 for more than 25 
years.  As a community activist with a Master of Arts in Asian American Studies, he has
worked on multiple projects to develop healthier community relations.


5/2/10 San Francisco Chronicle: "Dirty secret of black-on-Asian violence is out,"
by C.W. Nevius
    San Francisco's hidden truth is out. That's what community organizer Carol Mo calls 
the realization that Asian residents are being targeted for robberies, burglaries and 
intimidation by young black men.
    "It is San Francisco's dirty little secret," said Mo, a former Safety Network Community
organizer in the Sunset District. "It's not news to us."
