Mindy Kaling Tweets About Indian Man Killed In Kansas: ‘Why Is This Ignored?
“He was murdered in a hate crime, by a man shouting ‘get out of my country.’”
He was murdered in a hate crime, by a man shouting "get out of my country". Srinivas Kuchibhotla was 32 years old. Why is this ignored?
While news of Kuchibhotla’s death has received some press coverage in the United States, progressive media watchdog organization Media Matters reported that broadcast and cable news networks “largely ignored” the Feb. 22 shooting.
Meanwhile, news of Kuchibhotla’s killing and Trump’s silence on the matter were the topic of angry editorials in most of India’s major daily newspapers, the New York Times reported, as well as headline news in India since the shooting.

I mean to seed about this but forgot.The reason I am seeding it now is because it explains a lot about this other seed:
Ethnic T-Shirt

Sadly this killing took place a couple of hundred miles from me. The bigot was captured in Clinton MO. after he told a bartender at a restaurant that he killed a couple M/E people.
And yes, the shirt is right on the money.
Perpetrators need to start shouting I love you when killing people to avoid the hate crime charge.
You would have to kill a whole community of a specific religion or ethnic group while carrying a flag that said "HATE" and have the word "HATE" painted on your forehead, all the while screaming "I HATE *****" after having published and distributed a pamphlet outlining your hatred before the government powers that be and the media would identify it as a hate crime, if not saying it was just mental illness.
Trump mentioned it in the state of the union. It's the opposite of ignored.
