Recently, I have waked up everyday to find more and more attacks fueled by hatred and racism against Asian-Americans.
After the Corona Virus rapidly spread across America in 2020, racial discrimination increased against Asians. As a Korean-American living in a predominently white, suburban town, I have faced many racist jokes growing up but I had never experienced the fear I have felt this past year. I became scared to go to the grocery store without the thought that my parents or I might be next. Asian-Americans who look similar to my own grandparents and my own parents are being attacked, beaten, harassed because of their race. They lack the power to fight back and are left helpless on the ground and some have had their lives taken away too early. Despite the protests and actions taken to stop these attacks, they keep happening.
