Hatred is Hurting NYC and Other Cities in the US
On Wednesday, a 21-year-old man in Atlanta, killed eight people at three different spas. Six of the women were Asian. (Source)
Yuh-Line Niou, an Assemblywoman from Manhattan was on television last night. She spoke about the rise in hate towards Asians.
One thing that stayed with me was she said almost every Asian person in her area had something negative said to them in NYC.
How awful!
Many of these families came to America for a better life. We can’t allow people to be blamed for a virus.
In San Francisco, this Asian senior was hurt on the street.

She fought back, but was badly injured. (Story here) Here’s another attack in San Francisco.
At this place, someone wrote: “China you will pay.” How awful!
In July, an Asian Grandmother was lit on fire in Brooklyn. (Source)
In New York, we have to help and make things better for people – for our neighbors.
We can’t allow angry people to intimidate or hurt them – with words or violence.
We’ve know how dangerous scapegoating is.
