On March 16th, around 5pm, six Asian American women were shot to death at three massage parlors in the Atlanta (Georgia) area.

This isn't the first hate crime that has been committed against Asian Americans in the past year, since the COVID pandemic began.
What are your thoughts on the ongoing hatred towards Asian Americans? I think it's outrageous that there are actually people out there in the world who think the Asian community were the one that 'started' the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is no thanks to the false news perpetuated by Trump beginning early last year, and people just latch on to his words like leeches. I am acquainted with a few Asian-born Asian Americans, and they are legitimately terrified. They're actually Chinese too.
