Summarization
A 72-year-old man, Jen Lee, was assaulted and robbed in Elmhurst, and while the police believe it was a robbery, many people on Twitter argue that it was, in fact, a hate crime. Some people believe that the police are not investigating it as a hate crime because the victim is Asian, while others point out that black-on-Asian crime is being ignored by the media and government. Many users express their frustration with the lack of accountability and protection for minority groups, whether Asian or elderly. There is also a discussion about the unequal treatment of hate crimes based on the victim's race or religion.

1636585505839271936 | @MrUniteUs @CeFaanKim @AsianDawn4 @Morganorwood @NYPDHateCrimes @thedailybeast He went to the woods by himself while on a schizophrenic drug binge. He had zero survival tools or skills, and he wasn't dressed well enough to survive the cold night. Imagine thinking he was actually "lynched" by a mob of white men. | 36 |
1636573739969069058 | @CeFaanKim @Morganorwood @NYPDHateCrimes Of course it was hate-related. Some (a lot!) black people don't see Asians as human. This woman and the paralyzed Vietnamese woman in Houston would agree. | 29 |
