Yuanyuan Zhu was walking to her gym in San Francisco on March 9, thinking the workout could be her last for a while, when she noticed that a man was shouting at her. He was yelling an expletive about China. Then a bus passed, she recalled, and he screamed after it, “Run them over.”

She tried to keep her distance, but when the light changed, she was stuck waiting with him at the crosswalk. She could feel him staring at her. And then, suddenly, she felt it: his saliva hitting her face and her favorite sweater.

In shock, Ms. Zhu, who is 26 and moved to the United States from China five years ago, hurried the rest of the way to the gym. She found a corner where no one could see her, and she cried quietly.

She didn’t say it was a white man, black man, or a Hispanic.( or maybe she did but the writer refused to identify the race) There-for I believe it was a black or Hispanic man and I’ll bet homeless. If it was a white man then it would have been plastered everywhere with photosketches and pleas by the cops for videos of the “WHITE” “monster” who spit on her. (Can be prosecuted for assault, especially if the spitter had hiv or hep c)

They should thank God there isn’t a Democrat in the White House, otherwise they might end up in an internment camp.

It would be a pity if they get sucked into playing the victimology game - they don’t need it. A few isolated incidents in NYC don’t mean there’s any systemic problem of racism against Asian-Americans - stop the nonsense.
____________________________________

Members of media try to make Asian-Americans complain about racism...Like blacks and Hispanics frequently do...

People working in the Asian-American media are not conservatives...Asian-American communities often have their own newspapers...There are also Asian-American TV stations...Asian-American journalists are just as liberal as mainstream journalists...

There have always been people who dislike Asian-Americans...
Even when Democrats were in White House...
Do not blame President Trump...

Now we’re going to have to put up with Chinese hate hoaxes too?

Pretty soon, we’ll be hearing claims from Chinese, that they had their masks ripped off their face by people wearing MAGA caps.

Headline should be "Chinese-Americans Fear for Their Safety As New York Times Fans the Flames of Propaganda".

Report is an obvious lie.

There's only one kind of person in San Francisco: Leftists and crazy people.

Coming from the New York Slimes, it is probably a lie.

I can only assume the New York Times will be changing their name soon to prevent any negative reprisals on the (few) good people of New York that have no connection to their slimy organization.

Three people charged in connection to stabbing of Cornell student in broad daylight on campus!

usual suspects that aren’t even students

The 23-year-old, who identified himself Monday as Shawn Ong, was walking on South Avenue near the intersection of West Avenue on Sunday evening when he was approached by a group. One of them demanded the victim give up his wallet and phone, according to Ithaca police.

Not that I believe that this is a real problem out there across the country.

It kind of reminds me of the Sikh situation a few years back where idiots couldn’t tell the difference between them and Muslims. Ours are RoCs, why wouldn’t I buy from them? I suppose that I wouldn’t if I knew they were a PRC cell but how would I know that?

Either way if yours have all run away then try to find a Hmong grocery store. The Hmongs have travelled all over the mainland of the continent and kept and tweaked all the best recipes. Sometimes they have a semi-secret little restaurant in the back. You can be having “Chinese” while your friend has “Thai” and her kid has “Vietnamese” all at the same place.
