This happened yesterday in my hometown of Irvine, directly across the stress from where my parents live. Explaining this to my parents today was so difficult because putting them in fear is the last thing I wanted to do. It’s been hard to even come up with what to say regards to this. There have been too many hate crimes against Asians, particularly elderly Asians, since the coronavirus pandemic began, and many cases before that are not talked about. The Atlanta shooting that took place a few days ago hit me way too hard. Hearing the stories from the children who lost their mothers made me think that it could have been my mother, or any of my aunties. When I found out today about the 70 year old Asian man being assaulted while walking the dog directly across the street from my parents, it got me very angry and upset, and needing to post about it.
I cannot tell you enough how painful it is to hear these stories every day about Asians being murdered and assaulted, and the fact that hate crimes against Asians are happening where my parents live makes me so scared for them to leave the house alone. 😭😭😭
Imma close this statement with this: if you enjoy our hot pot and korean bbq, if you enjoy our noodle soups and sushi, if you enjoy our boba and tea, if you enjoy our dramas, if you enjoy our anime, if you enjoy our spas, if you genuinely admire Asian culture, you better be sticking up for us, RIGHT NOW AND ALWAYS! STOP ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER HATE!!
