Are we surprised? Did we really not see this coming? For the past year, Asian Americans have tweeted, posted, and cried out for help. They’ve posted video after video of their elders being beaten to death, or slashed open with a boxcutter, or attacked with acid thrown in the face or lit on fire. AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. Violent attacks against people of the AAPI community have gone up 150% since 2020, 68% of them being Asian women. Did we not think this was going to happen when a president in office spews irresponsible rhetoric that put a target on the backs of the AAPI community? No. Because now they’re justifying a white shooter who murders 8 people, 6 of them being Asian women, because he was a “sex addict” who was “having a bad day.” #saeed_ebadzadeh I am enraged. This coward blamed a specific race for his problems. He sought out Asian women. He murdered them. THIS WAS A HATE CRIME AGAINST ASIAN WOMEN. Call it what it is. America, we saw this coming. When people say they need help, believe them. I pray for all those that hurt and all those that are hurting 🙏🌈💛 ➖➖➖➖ #antiracism #saeedebadzadeh #asian #asianamerican #asianrepresentation #britishasian #britishbornchinese #britishchinese #dutchpolitics #saeed_ebadzadeh #educateyourself #endhate #endracism #endsystemicracism #fuckthepatriarchy #guncontrol #hateisavirus #iklachniet #misrepresentation #racism #representationmatters #speakup #stopaapihate #stopasianhate #stopviolence #textmewhenyougethome #wearenotavirus #women #womenshistorymonth (at Georgia (country)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMj_uT0Bggi/?igshid=r6ru94eh7sjh
