Nearly a year after they were almost stabbed to death inside a Midland, Texas, Sam's Club, Bawi Cung and his two sons all have visible scars. It's the unseen ones though that are harder to get over.

In Cung's case, the man responsible for the attack believed the Myanmar man and his children were Chinese and spreading the virus, according to the FBI. Her children thought the couple meant for them to go home. Torn, Yang eventually explained they meant “for us to go back to Asia."Yang believes the couple felt emboldened by then-President Donald Trump’s use of racially charged terms like “Chinese virus." She applauded President Joe Biden's recent executive order condemning anti-Asian xenophobia as a good start.

He shared a picture of the graffiti on Instagram to call attention to hate crimes. There was a groundswell of support, but he feels like much of it has faded. A rash of crimes victimizing elderly Asian Americans in the past two months has renewed outcry for more attention from politicians and the media. On Wednesday, California Gov.

Where u at ABC and Asians activists and celebrities? Looks like this stuff goes out the window if the person isn’t blk. Notice in this instance the media don’t even mention Asian of these 3 white males that brutally beat a 58 year old Asian woman. Where is the story ABC?

Where is the report of who did it? Also why isn’t ABC reporting all these attacking against Asians? I’ve seen multiple ones. Now mind u they seem to be to robberies but why silent? Where is the Asian community to call out these non black attackers? To busy lying on blks.

In my opinion, Donald Trump did not create this hatred, he just allowed it to rise up, fester, and then encouraged people to act upon their racial hatred. Sadly, he showed no leadership, and only incited hated.

Apparently America has not changed much from the African Slave Plantations Founded for Whites Only.

Donald Trump and his minions created this environment. Sham on them.
