Atlanta-area Asian Americans share their thoughts on shootings at three local spas that left eight dead, six of whom were Asian women.Many Asian women are living in fear. They've been living in fear long before the shootings Tuesday night that showed America the brutality of anti-Asian violence.
Christine Liwag Dixon, a Filipino-American living in the New York-metro area, said the killings on Tuesday left her"shocked but not surprised." “Even if I have personally not suffered an attack, just witnessing something on TV where I can relate to the person the incident occurred to, it can be just as traumatic,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be me working at a in Atlanta… I can experience what we call vicarious traumatization.”
, a group that tracks discrimination and xenophobia against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, received 3,800 reports of anti-Asian hate, with women reporting hate incidents 2.3 times more than men. "A lot of times it walks that line where it’s very uncomfortable and you feel targeted but you don’t feel like you’re in physical danger, but sometimes they get a little too close… and you wonder, am I going to end up murdered in a ditch? Are they going to try to rape me?”
This story definitely doesn’t have a happy ending.
I see my 12 yr old granddaughter in her. No way would I tolerate any harm to her, either mentally or physically.
I previously put my foot in mouth in repeating the perpetrator's statement that it wasn't racial. I retract my foot from my mouth & apologize to all Asian Americans. My grandchildren/son in law R Asian Americans. I would fight to the death to defend them.
There is a 100% chance that whoever gave this quote is lying. If she had said 'violence against women' it would have been more believable.
The hypersexualization of Asian women must stop. And along those lines, the demasculization of Asian men needs to stop, too.
This is the Legacy of'45 aka Donald J. TRUMP'!!!!!!
