Has anyone told Al Sharpton about the white supremacist who brutally beat an Asian man Friday on the New York subway while shouting, “You Asian motherf—er”? The white supremacist, identified by police as 36-year-old Marc Mathieu, happens to be a black man.

This is important because Sharpton devoted a whole 10 minutes of his MSNBC show on Sunday to reasserting the media-generated myth that Asian Americans are being terrorized by white supremacists across the country. Using the recent and ridiculous “study” by the Anti-Defamation League purporting a surge in “white supremacist propaganda” being distributed throughout the United States, Sharpton asked Democratic Rep. Grace Meng what she believed to be “fueling” the “hatred” for Asian Americans.
