Actually, I think you should be generalizing, playing it safe and calling it an Asian Man. The perpetrator must have been mentally ill, yes? Assaulting an elderly man on a public street… well hey that young fellow has suffered too. Probably jobless and OH the Weight of the abstract political demons he battles in his mind, Every Day, have you no sympathy sirrah? Also, any examination of the potentially motivating philosophy behind these sorts of things is… not allowed. “Why not?” – arrest that man!
