Asian senior victims of hate say U.S. 'more physically dangerous' for community​

“Anti-Asian hate and violence instilled a sense of fear and anxiety, especially among Asian American older adults in dense, urban areas,” according to a new report.

May 27, 2022, 2:20 AM CST

By Kimmy Yam

New research shows the toll anti-Asian racism has had on Asian American seniors amid the pandemic.
The report, by the hate incident tracking coalition Stop AAPI Hate and the American Association of Retired Persons, found that almost all Asian American elders who experienced hate incidents during the pandemic reported feeling that the U.S. has become “more physically dangerous for Asian Americans.”

“Over the past two years, Covid-19 exacerbated threats to the safety and well-being for Asian American elders ages 60 and up — a community that was already highly vulnerable prior to the pandemic,” researchers wrote in the study, which was released Tuesday. “Anti-Asian hate and violence instilled a sense of fear and anxiety, especially among Asian American older adults in dense, urban areas.”

The report examined data released by Stop AAPI Hate, which collected reports of more than 820 hate incidents against Asian American elders from March 2020 to December 2021. While Stop AAPI Hate collects incidents in 15 languages online, researchers said that incidents targeting Asian American and Pacific Islander elders are typically underreported due to technological, linguistic and cultural barriers.

Researchers revealed that more than a quarter of hate incidents against seniors involved physical assault, nearly double the rate that those under 60 experienced. More than 60 percent of incidents involved verbal harassment or shunning. Elders reported their race, ethnicity and gender as the top suspected reasons for the discrimination they received.

Asian American seniors were more likely to face discrimination on public streets and at businesses, similar to younger people. But seniors were twice as likely to face discrimination at private residences, compared to those under 60.

The attacks have had lasting effects. According to the study, 65.5 percent of those who experienced hate incidents reported stress, compared to 24.2 percent in the overall Asian American senior population. The report also showed that in addition to the mental stress elders faced due to racism and discrimination, they also confronted social isolation during the pandemic, which has contributed to depression, anxiety and decline in physical health. Almost 66 percent of Asian American seniors who reported hate incidents experienced more stress from social isolation, compared to 43.4 percent of those who did not.

But mental health issues among the Asian American senior population often go undetected, the researchers said, due to systemic, cultural and linguistic barriers to treatment, as well as the “long-standing cultural stigma” against seeking help. The study did note, however, that Asian seniors said that seeing an Asian mental health professional would make them feel more comfortable sharing their difficulties.

“Community-based organizations are best positioned to support individual older adults with their immediate needs in times of crisis,” the report said. “Local, state, and federal government agencies, however, can address the structural roots that cause fear, isolation, and mental health challenges through culturally and linguistically responsive programming.”

Thank you Neocon.

LOL! A year later he's still in the US..
Why were you claiming that he was going to leave??? I guess going back to the "shxthole" didn't sound appealing.

Uh-oh...Li Fei Fei is still in the US too at Stanford.

As I said to get people to move back to "shining" China would require something extraordinarily bad to happen here. Most people say they will never consider going back.

whites give blacks stealth approval to attack asians by whipping up anti asian hysteria and then sitting back and doing nothing when asians are attacked

How is that less than when blacks attack another race (like white people)? Since when do we do somehow do more for some other group?

The man accused of opening fire at a Taiwanese church congregation in Orange County has been charged with hate crime enhancements, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

On May 15, David Wenwei Chou, 68, was arrested after he shot and killed a 52-year-old doctor and wounded five others at the Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods. He was charged with one felony count of murder, five felony counts of premeditated attempted murder, four felony counts of possession of an explosive device, and felony enhancements of lying in wait and personal discharge of a firearm causing death, officials said.

“After a review of additional evidence in this case, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office has filed an amended criminal complaint to include hate crime allegations,” Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a press release.

The shooting occurred during a luncheon for a pastor who returned from a mission trip in Taiwan. Dr. John Cheng, 52, was killed in the shooting when he went to tackle the gunman. His actions, according to law enforcement, helped save the other lives inside.

Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said during a press conference on May 16 that the shooting was believed to be a “politically motivated hate incident” as notes found in Chou’s car indicated his hate for the Taiwanese community.

Barnes also said Chou was “methodical” in his plans for the shooting, hiding two bags containing Molotov cocktail-like devices and two bags of additional magazine rounds inside the banquet hall.

Chou’s arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 19.

Why are you intentionally skipping the rest of the article? It says she was told she could not stay on the plane because of her incredibly vulgar pants and to catch another flight...she decided to strip off her clothes instead.

"She explains that she was approached on board the aircraft, told to gather her belongings, and exit the plane. She says she wasn’t told why until she was on her way, and that it’s because her “sweatpants were ‘inappropriate’ and ‘offensive'” so she’d need to take the next flight.

Missing her flight was going to mean missing an “important meeting” so she “pleaded to stay on the flight.” As a general rule, if you have a truly can’t-miss meeting then taking the flight that arrives ‘just in time’ is a bad idea. Flights delay and cancel all the time. And dress codes get applied reasonably but inconsistently. Just ask former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo.

The South Korean minor celebrity “offered to get changed but the request was denied.” However staff relented, and she stripped in the gate area.

American Airlines has a passenger dress code, “Dress appropriately; bare feet or offensive clothing aren’t allowed.” Employees are supposed to interpret this, and no one knows what it means.

• When a passenger was kicked off a flight for wearing an ‘F-cancer’ hoodie American apologized, saying that the employee should have “taken the broader context of the message displayed on the customer’s shirt into consideration” and not enforced the rule.
  
  
• Yet a passenger was kicked off of a flight for wearing an F-12 mask and the airline did not apologize. This is a little bit more controversial of a message, perhaps (anti-police) but it uses the same word, came right on the heels of the George Floyd protests (context), and the airline’s then-CEO started wearing a Black Lives Matter wristband in May 2020. The airline made Black Lives Matter pins available to employees.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1518850282490187776

So what’s an employee supposed to do when they see F-U on pants? It’s not cancer or Black Lives Matter but it’s still the same word. If there’s ever a clear-cut case though this is it, right?

I don’t envy American. They want a policy so they can enforce it in egregious cases, but also to keep it broad enough so that those egregious cases don’t slip through the cracks. Different employees interpret it differently, and some won’t bother at all, and air travel is so small-d democratic that there are people – celebrities even, or especially – who think it’s ok to wear pants like this in public. Which it probably is, most of the time, and what’s more public than transit?

nice deflection but it doesn't change the fact that violence against asians is state sponsored in stealth, whites spent decades carefully curating the positioning of orientals in the us caste system to be at the very bottom as the go to racial punching bag all others should release their frustrations on
it goes like this, some guy is having a bad day, he thinks who should i racially abuse today, because of decades of white psyop asians instinctively pop into his head without even consciously thinking about it, that's the heinous evil you whites have brought upon asians, don't even try to deny it

Really? For decades the orientals have been treated as the very bottom???

It seems everybody is now racing to claim they are at the very bottom.

Portland man charged with attacking family because he thought they were Japanese

Dylan Kesterson has pleaded not guilty to charges

www.independent.co.uk

A Portland man was arrested on Wednesday after failing to appear in court to face charges he attacked a father and his daughter because he believed they were of Japanese descent.

Dylan Kesterson, 34, has been charged with multiple crimes, including two counts of first-degree bias crime, after he allegedly attacked Ryuichiro Abe and his 5-year-old daughter without provocation while they were out riding a tandem bicycle on the city’s Eastbank Esplanade.

He rushed the family and “made comments about his perception that they were of Japanese descent”, according to police.

“We felt we might be killed,” Mr Abe said during Mr Kesterson’s arraignment, noting he was hit about 50 times.

Mr Kesterson has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Peter Gould, a bystander who witnessed the attack, told KPTV he grabbed a piece of plywood and jumped in with a group of others to help defend the besieged family.

“It’s just unfortunate someone would do that,” Mr Gould said. “This was a bias crime, for sure. He was yelling that ‘You don’t belong in my country, you’ve taken my stuff’. It was obvious he was angry with them because of what they looked like.”

Mr Abe told Fox 12 he was shocked that Kesterson “has no perception that he did anything wrong. I have no good ideas on how to punish someone who has no sense of guilt. However, at least we are sure that his freedom to live his life causes the risk of the community. I cannot accept what he did and the way he thinks. I hope that a tragedy like ours will never be repeated.”

The Independent is attempting to reach the accused for comment.

Local leaders condemned the attack.

“I am outraged and disgusted by the assault that occurred on the Eastbank Esplanade,” Portland mayor Ted Wheeler told The Washington Post . “We will not tolerate this kind of behavior in our community.”

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s office has said it plans to request Mr Kesterson be held without bail.

According to AAPI Data, hate crimes against Asians have increased steadily throughout the pandemic, with one in eight reporting an incident in 2020, and one in six doing the same the following year.

Congrat for ignoring the severity of white supremacists and racist attack in US and think all is well.

10 pages here and not many incidents listed which I think speaks for itself on the severity of the problem.

So thank you! It really isn't a big problem compared to the number of other "nationalist" and "supremacists" attacks on Asians which is definitely not on your agenda to highlight daily in this thread.

Man who blamed girlfriend's killing on anti-Asian hate was behind murder-for-hire scheme, police say

Nelson Chia, 73, killed himself after he was arrested in the killing of Lili Xu, authorities said. He stood to gain millions from her death.

Man who blamed girlfriend’s killing on anti-Asian hate was behind murder-for-hire scheme, police say​

A man who allegedly orchestrated his girlfriend’s murder in Oakland stood to gain millions from her death, according to court documents released Monday.

Nelson Chia, 73, was arrested Friday in connection with the Aug. 21 killing of his longtime girlfriend, 60-year-old Lili Xu. Chia killed himself in Santa Rita Jail a few hours after he was arrested, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said.

After Xu was shot to death, Chia cried and mourned his partner in interviews with local news outlets, telling a reporter for KGO-TV Channel 7 in San Francisco that he and Xu’s friends believed the crime to be motivated by anti-Asian hate, not an attempted robbery gone wrong.

But according to Oakland police, Chia had hired his girlfriend’s killer and planned the attack in a scheme to commit murder for financial gain.

Chia was driving Xu’s vehicle when she was shot three times as she got out in Oakland’s Little Saigon neighborhood, police said. Officers found Chia and Xu lying side by side on the ground; Xu died after being taken to a hospital.

Video from a security camera shows someone pull up next to Xu’s vehicle in a white Lexus sedan, get out, then shoot her after a struggle, according to police. “Chia observed the entire incident,” police wrote.

Chia told police that Xu had $12 million to $14 million in assets including property, life insurance and trusts, and that he was the trustee and would be paid about $1 million from Xu’s life insurance policies.

Chia “gained and maintained control of numerous financial accounts belonging to Xu,” police said, and allegedly arranged the accounts so that he would receive an income from Xu’s estate for the rest of his life.




Hasheem Bason, 33, was also arrested in Xu’s killing and was charged Monday in Alameda County with murder. Police alleged in his arrest warrant that he agreed to kill Xu for Chia.

Bason agreed to the plan in exchange for “a significant amount of money,” police said, adding that they found communications between Chia and Bason that show they conspired to kill Xu for financial gain.

“Chia and Bason planned the day, time and place of the murder,” police wrote. “Bason acquired a vehicle, recruited a driver, and waited to ambush Xu a block from the location of [her] appointment.”


The pair discussed how to “thwart law enforcement’s investigation,” with Bason telling Chia to “act like the victim” and to not identify anyone if shown a photo lineup, police said.

Police traced the license plate number on the Lexus to Bason, who matched with DNA samples taken from the trunk and from cartridges left at the scene.

Investigators served a search warrant at Bason’s house and found the gun used in Xu’s killing, police said.
