I'll let you know when that starts happening then. 

Meantime, 

how does the insight that racism is not limited to any race help us understand the violence against Asians seen in Dino's post? E.g., if we agree there has been a rise in violence against Asians, and we can find 1) separate cases in which the perpetrators have been Latino, African-American, and White, and 2) in each of these cases there is no mistake about the racial character of the attack (e.g., because the perp used racial slurs), then in your view, what is the next step in determining the cause of the attacks, or more specifically, the rise in attacks?  

Could there be some change in the information environment which triggered already existing prejudice?

Curious--are you saying the "revision" is about the use of rifles for protection or that Koreans were targeted.

If I wanted to find out about the revision, where would I look. E.g., which historians or what books/articles should I be looking for?
