This undated photo provided by Bawi Cung, shows Bawi Cung, right, seated with his children at home, before he and his two sons were stabbed in an anti-Asian attack last March 2020 at Sam's Club in Midland, Texas. Asian Americans have been facing a dangerous climate since the coronavirus entered the U.S. a year ago. A rash of crimes victimizing elderly Asian Americans in the last two months has renewed outcry for more attention from politicians and the media.
Now, just over a year and thousands of incidents later, some of the early victims find moving forward has been difficult or, at best, bittersweet. A recent wave of attacks on elderly Asian Americans — including the death of an 84-year-old San Francisco man — has fueled worries that hostilities have only worsened.
Owen, who was stabbed in the leg and deeply cut in his right palm, and an off-duty Border Patrol agent detained the suspect, Jose Gomez, 19.In April, a confrontation in a Richmond, California, park left an irrevocable impact not just on Kelly Yang, 36, but her children. She was forced to discuss anti-Asian racism with her son, 10, and daughter, 7 — a talk she didn’t think would happen for a few more years.
“At the time it pissed me off, but I have more important things to worry about,” Kim said. “Maintaining a business is more important.” More than 3,000 incidents have been reported to Stop AAPI Hate, a California-based reporting center for Asian American Pacific Islanders, and its partner advocacy groups, since mid-March 2020. What’s frustrating is that the encounters don’t often rise to the legal definition of a hate crime.

Black people are attacking Asian people. This is white people's fault!
The more complicated the world gets, the more easy solutions seem attractive - and what is easier than blaming someone who doesn't look like you?
What's unsaid: the attackers were all black.
Clearly some human Americans suck
Speaking about the pandemic, who ever confirmed lockdown can help pandemic, plz come to explain the effectiveness of lockdown that helps it? It's more than one year already
Colored Lives Matter
Bless them.
So the reasoning of these morons is C19 originated in China, therefore we blame Asians? Spanish flu originated in Spain (actually probably originated in Kansa), therefore we should blame Hispanics. Puts to rest argument as to equitable distribution of intelligence in our species
Seems Trumps hate of minorities is still alive and well through his zombie followers.
My daughter was spat on, on the subway in NYC. Disgusting and could be deadly, during a pandemic.
We stand with the Asian community against attacks because of the corona virus.
But Asians are still being targeted.
