Charles Jung, the executive director of the California Asian Pacific American Bar Association, speaks about the history of violence and bias against Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.
TRANSCRIPT
- Go back to whatever (censored) Asian country
you belong in.
- Take your (censored) China flu, shove it up your ass.
- Okay, well done.
- (censored) Taiwanese chink (censored)
- Violence and bias against our community is nothing new.
It becomes inflamed whenever there's something
that Americans don't like about Asia.
So whether it's World War II and Pearl Harbor,
or whether it's increased competition
from Japan during the 80s,
or whether it's 9/11.
Americans are suffering and they feel pain and fear
and I think it's acutely manifesting
as the symptom of Asian hate.
