Is there a level of anti-Asian sentiment in the ANTIFA/BLM movements? There are a couple tweets that I came across that caught my attention. In the below tweet, an apparent BLM activist yells, "Fuck Asians." This was after a police shooting in Los Angeles that occurred in the Westmont neighborhood. The neighborhood is just north of the 105 freeway and west of the 110 freeway.
(As a note, the tweet is from Ian Miles Cheong, but the video was taken by someone named Tomas Morales, for some reason I couldn't locate the tweet on his timeline.)
Now why exactly is there such animosity towards Asians by this woman? Who knows. She goes on to say fuck everyone who isn't from Africa, but she doesn't specifically go after whites and Latinos.

In this below tweet, one can hear a white ANITFA crowd in Portland yelling at an Asian American who is walking down the street, "Fuck you, Andy." When he confronts them, they yell back, "You're antagonizing us on purpose."
By Andy, they mean Andy Ngo. Andy Ngo is a conservative journalist who highlights the actions that ANTIFA in Portland takes. As can be seen, the video is from Andy Ngo's Twitter feed though it doesn't state who took the video -- definitely not him.
Aren't they racist by basically saying that all Asian men look the same to them? Even after he denies being Andy Ngo, they continue to accuse him of being Andy Ngo. Now liberals say that police use race-base evaluations of African Americans. Aren't these white protesters guilty of something similar?

What I wonder: does ANTIFA and BLM basically lump Asians and whites together as one specific group of individuals that need to be protested against?
