USA Today Pitching 'Anti-Asian Hate' Long After They Knew the Killer Was Asian​

USA Today reported that the Monterey Park, Calif., shooting that left 10 people dead has “revived the fears and trauma” of “anti-Asian hate” for the Los Angeles Asian community.
There are just two tiny little problems with the story: The killer was Vietnamese, and USA Today knew that before it published the story.

Tran’s face had been plastered everywhere as the suspect hours before a SWAT team had surrounded his white van and discovered his dead body around 1 p.m. on Sunday. Nevertheless, USA Today went with the “fears and trauma” of “anti-Asian hate” story hours after Tran was ID’d by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as the suspect.

“The incident,” reporters Marc Ramirez, Jordan Mendoza, and Orlando Mayorquin breathlessly wrote, “has revived the fears and trauma brought on by a wave of hate incidents and tragedies that have struck the community over the last few years.”

CNN is too. Most people will never look at the facts of the case and the media outlets will ignore it and never report it. All most people will hear is an Asian community was targeted again and these incidents are increasing by extremists. Then they will show some January 6th pictures and move on.

Would that be "self-hating" then?

Comical, since both of the recent incidents in CA were Asian on Asian.

Maybe the rifles were made in China?
