Heard no indication of actual physical violence, but it was clear that they were fearful for themselves, their families and in some cases their businesses.

I noticed that too when I picked up a pistol at Cabela's last March. While waiting for the background check I met a couple Vietnamese ladies and we spent a few hours talking as they chose their second handguns. They already had an AR and AK rifles. Their concerns seemed to be about protecting their shop and workers from robbery and assault.

Admittedly, I live a life somewhat disconnected from multiracial urban areas and I'm not up on the latest greatest nuances of racial theory and dogma but I don't see anti-Asian discrimination as widespread. I think it's promotion is politically based identity politics meant to divide and harm our free society.
