Olympic gymnast Suni Lee said she was pepper sprayed after being targeted with anti-Asian slurs while visiting her hometown St. Paul, Minnesota a few weeks ago.

The 18-year-old gold medalist said she was waiting for an Uber with a group of Asian-American friends when people in a car drove by yelling slurs including "ching chong" and saying they should "go back to where they came from," according to a profile in Pop Sugar.

Lee said one passenger pepper sprayed her arm before the car drove away.

I am reluctant to believe these stories from people maybe looking for street cred.

" . . .and saying they should "go back to where they came from""

Maybe they were lefties telling them to get off of sacred Native American land.

Would The Hill publish a story about Trump supporters being harassed by lefties?

Democrats have blamed former President Trump for the surge in anti-Asian sentiment, pointing to his comments calling the coronavirus "China virus" and "Kung flu."

And yet most of the assailants turn out to be black. Who knew Trump had so much influence?

What did the assailants look like, Ms. Lee?

No white boys in the car screaming at these folks or we would have seen it written in the first sentence. No description is a perfect description.

In ultra Liberal Twin Cities?

How could this be?

When the perpetrators only have vague descriptions such as “teens”, “youths”, or “people”; then you know the description and ethnicity already.

Let me help you relieve some of that overload. In American vernacular, your quoted word is often followed by the words "of Color."

Hope that helps.

Great American simply for a gold medal or is there more?

China’s puppet Lebron James has 2 gold medals.

It’s a Liberal Paradise, Suni. You mustn’t complain.
