'Nowhere is safe': Asian women reflect on brutal New York City killings
NBC News ^ | February 16, 2022 | Sakshi Venkatraman

Two brutal killings in the span of less than a month have left Asian American women in New York City on edge. And in metropolitan areas around the country, they say there’s constant reason to be looking over their shoulder.

“I don’t feel like anywhere is safe for me,” said YouMe Lin, 27, a Chinese American woman who has lived in New York City for over six years. “I feel very suffocated.”

Around 4 a.m. Sunday, 35-year-old Christina Yuna Lee was found dead in her bathroom stabbed 40 times after a man, Assamad Nash, allegedly silently followed her up six flights of stairs into her lower Manhattan apartment. When police arrived on the scene, they heard Lee’s screams, but by the time they broke down her steel door, it was too late. Nash was found hiding under her bed, police said.

Her death follows the Jan. 15 killing of Michelle Go, 40, who was pushed in front of an oncoming train at the Times Square subway station. At a vigil held to commemorate her, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said, “I’m recommitted to ensure that this will not happen in our city.”

Several women who live in the city told NBC Asian America that statements like that have felt increasingly hollow. With Lee’s death in her own home, they say their safe spaces around New York are rapidly disappearing.

Towards the end, they finally get to the point: It's Trump's fault.

While viral images and videos create a narrative that it’s Black individuals harassing and harming Asian women, looking at that media in a vacuum is misleading, experts say. Data from Stop AAPI Hate reveals most hate incidents reported by Asian Americans during the pandemic were perpetrated by white people. And experts like Choimorrow say it’s largely a result of racist messaging and slurs spread by elected officials and those in power, like former President Donald Trump and those who capitalize on anti-Asian fear-mongering.

I have not seen one pale face harming an Asian. OTOH there are numerous videos of blacks just crushing Asians. Asians hate blacks for good reason.

Of course it is. Before Trump black Americans were famous for their admiration of and love for their Asian neighbors.

The Asians know as well who it is that is hurting them...the media and these stop hate “data” groups are lying and it will breed contempt between blacks and Asians.

Because everyone knows a snide comment from a white Maga supporter is worse than a knife in the kidneys from a BLM supporter, 🤭

These idiots keep voting for woke representatives. No cash bail, BLM, CRT, etc. etc.

The NY State Reps for Southern Manhattan and Chinatown are all leftist democrats.

You all chose it. Suck it up.

I hate to be in the brotha's shoes.

Asians DO NOT mess around. Watch as they'll quietly form vigilante groups, use women as a decoy and then take the thug to a garage or underground lot and torture the crap out of them.

Because we all know Adams ain't going to do crap about this. You're going to see more thugs die.

My wife is Chinese, we have many Chinese (like 60) friends. All except one are strong Conservatives.

Believe me, they know damn well who the anti-Asian hate is coming from. You don't have to worry about that for a second.

I grew up in NY, just North of the City. Almost all of the race hate crimes since the 70’s have Black perps.
