“If seeing Asian women – specifically those financially vulnerable enough to undertake face-to-face work during a pandemic – as hosepipes of sexual availability you turn on and off by shooting them isn’t racism, then I honestly don’t know what is.”

I watched this scene as a teenage girl growing up in Singapore. What I mainly remember is the way the two GIs react to her – open, aggressive desire spiked with revulsion. They condescendingly bargain her down to $10. One calls her a “g*** whore” while slinging his arm around her for a photo. That nightmarish mix of casual intimacy – the GI’s arm nestled in the small of her back – and insult – “g*** whore” – haunts me still.

At a press conference on the shootings, the county sheriff’s deputy said that the suspect had been apprehended by police on Wednesday morning. “He was pretty much fed up and had been kind of at the end of his rope,” he said. “Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.” I’m not the only East or South East Asian person to call out the deputy’s words – all across my social media feeds, people from my community reacted with outrage and disgust. In equal numbers, we were told that these crimes had nothing to do with misogyny or racism, that we should simply take it on the word of the shooter himself.

and claimed it was “not a Chinese play and the characters are not Chinese”. Tell that to the characters of Lord Ghang, Chin and Mrs Hsu.a UKIP parliamentary candidate’s use of the C-word to describe a Chinese takeaway. I say the “C-word” because it is a slur; it has been used as a slur since the 19th century. Yet people on social media still defend its use: “If calling a Chinese takeaway a c****y is racist, then calling a chip shop takeaway a chippy is racist.
