These are some examples of hostility that Asian Americans have faced in the last year. While this hatred directed at the Asian community is anything but new, animosity toward the group has grown in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Last March, then-President Donald Trump referred to the coronavirus as"the Chinese virus" -- subsequently, many Asian Americans said they were blamed for bringing Covid-19 to the US.
"As someone who is very attuned to getting called racial slurs ... you just feel it when someone's talking to you in that tone of voice," he said."I tuned in and I heard her saying, 'Oh, you like disgusting, dog-eating ch***, go back to China, you're so dirty.'"He asked his friend if she heard what the woman said. His friend didn't realize what had just happened, which Ian said made him feel alone.
DrLeanaWen Damn, now do affirmative action.
The Pandemic applified everything that is wrong with America and the world. Racism has been with us since the beginning of humanity and will be here until humans are eliminated from earth.
CommonSense2d As a Palestinian American, I sympathize with the plight of Asian Americans. And THIS:
Stop this nonsense CNN
So are these. Full Video on my page.
Let me tell you how stupid democrats are. Not all Asians are from China.
Geography lesson for racists: NOT ALL ASIANS ARE FROM THE SAME COUNTRY!
I am sorry for the ignorance of some people. I would never hurt you
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! What a sad pathetic group of racists that would attack innocent people!
They are the only race that gets attacked or killed more by another race than other asians. They have been targeted by blacks for years.
Trump amplified it! 🤮🤮🤮
Why is this news. You don't talk about the black women who have been assaulted while patronizing Asian businesses.
' I can forgive anything except cruelty ' moya
If racism is what blm is fighting against they should be in the streets now fighting against asian racism.
You cnn are the worst part of this country!!!so desperate for ratings that you continue to push the racist thing. Figured would’ve learned when you got sued for the Indian drum beating incident
I see a lot of Asians on TikTok dishing hate speech which I find very disturbing and I have always thought it will cause big racial issues. Some even claimed Covid started in US while in China, they accused Africans as well. They must stop blaming others and take responsibility.
COVID started in China but Chinese won’t accept that. Instead, they blame others. Even accused Africans and mistreated them by throwing them out of their rented apartments last year in China and accused them of bringing Covid. Some of them are on TikTok talking trash too 🤷🏽♀️
Hilarious
Even if your voice and hands are shaking, please speak up the truth with dignity. No more silence in facing racism and discrimination.
I’m Mexican and faced hostilities. Where’s my dumbass article?
How much longer is this Bigotry going to be tollerated , I think it's time to start thinking about new stricter anti racism Law's were made ,
😖😞😔😢
It's a shame. But only a tiny amount of what black and brown Americans have experienced for decades.
Can we agree that everyone should respect each other or must we turn this into another episode of how everyone has been mistreated in this horrible country show?
Trump should be proud of his legacy. WWGD I know HE wants us to remember that even he (Trump) is equal to the rest of us. We are ALL his children. Still want to keep judging? Go for it.
Bullsh!t
DrLeanaWen We must stand together. ✊🏾
It was all those white supremacists and blacks who trigger the attacks!
Show statistics of races involved in attacks.blacks are overwhelmingly involved in attacks on asian smericans.its not reported because that doesn't fit the cnn narrative
To be factual most of the attacks against Asians are from leftists probably envious that they are successful and prosperous without constantly crying racism and lifting themselves up with their efforts
You don't mention the race of the people who did this. I can only guess why
I am shocked how racist and stupid people are. These are our neighbors, friends, fellow citizens. We should be smart enough as people. But then again, 70 million voted for Trump & still believe the lies and hate he spread. Hard to be a proud American seeing this happening
Because of Trump and the GQP. Why is this not at the forefront?
I heard the news of the shooting and kept thinking why exactly is Asian American racist attacks on the rise…. Then I read an article that pointed to blaming China for COVID. I mean really? People are attacking people they think are Chinese, for what purpose?
SeeAllEvil Too bad 🐽
Why are African Americans attacking Asian Americans?
Fake news
NO MASK'S EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop being SHEEP!!!!!!!!
Sorry but more Whites have been treated like that nationwide that any Asians have during this Pandemic.
This needs to STOP...this is not the American way. Did we not learn from WWII. It is time to stop this racist rant.
Enough! We will not stand for this.
It will stop immediately if bystanders don’t accept the behavior and collectively hand out street JUSTICE.
Where you at
No evidence yet that Message Parlor murders were specifically aimed at killing Asians
