An Asian American woman was attacked in New York City by a man who repeatedly kicked her as two people nearby who appeared to be security guards did not intervene, according to surveillance footage released by police.
When I first wrote about a national surge in reported hate crimes against Asian Americans since the coronavirus pandemic began, it was easy for the rest of us to sympathize, yet also believe, however feebly, that the problem was not about us.
Olivia Munn is "really disappointed" to see other people and companies staying quiet about racism against Asian people in America when they were so vocal about the Black Lives Matter movement.
I don’t want to spoil the party, but amid the hopeful signs that we might – just might – be turning the corner on the coronavirus pandemic, let us not overlook how much COVID-19-related racial rhetoric has fueled a pandemic of hate crimes, too.
Olivia Munn has called for an end to “anti-Asian hate crimes” in a moving plea on social media, as she said people are “fearful to step outside” because of the hate directed toward them.
