Enraged.

2021-03-18 14:48:55 UTC

painfully distrubing to witness any shooting but to see that it was targeted made it much worse

2021-03-18 14:49:02 UTC

Its very disturbing and sad to see this happen.

2021-03-18 14:49:16 UTC

2021-03-18 14:49:19 UTC

it's enraging and disturbing and upsetting, but the worst part is it's not that surprising. hate crimes and domestic terrorism has become so incredibly normalized in our country its dispicable.

its scary that something like this can happen today

tpschaller — 2021-03-18 14:49:23 UTC

disgusted and really disappointed that this is happening at all

cemarshall4 — 2021-03-18 14:49:30 UTC

kinda worried about my grandpa honestly, idk

wwauters — 2021-03-18 14:49:35 UTC

scared and disturbed

2021-03-18 14:49:38 UTC

I wish that no one would ever have to go through that

2021-03-18 14:49:44 UTC

it's really scary and personal to me because I have been living with my grandma and I'm scared that she will be targeted

2021-03-18 14:49:46 UTC

disgusting honestly like why you know

2021-03-18 14:49:49 UTC

Frustrating

2021-03-18 14:50:02 UTC

I'm not Asian, but my closest childhood friends were Chinese and I learned so much about their culture. When I found out about Atlanta, I immediately thought of them.

2021-03-18 14:51:57 UTC

I have asian friends that I care about

tpschaller — 2021-03-18 14:51:59 UTC

i have asian friends

2021-03-18 14:52:10 UTC

my best friend is asian and i have watched her family growing up experienceing racial prejudice

I'm asian

2021-03-18 14:52:14 UTC

I immigrated with my parents when I was 1. Parts of my family also immigrated here.

2021-03-18 14:52:14 UTC

i have Asian friends and consume alot of their media

2021-03-18 14:52:14 UTC

i'm not asian but cousins are half and have asian friends, enjoy media/content created by asians

cemarshall4 — 2021-03-18 14:52:28 UTC

2021-03-18 14:53:29 UTC

i love ppl who are asian <3

good at math

tpschaller — 2021-03-18 14:55:31 UTC

ive heard that asian people are always smart

2021-03-18 14:55:34 UTC

Short, submissive

2021-03-18 14:55:38 UTC

super smart, model minority

cemarshall4 — 2021-03-18 14:55:48 UTC

2021-03-18 14:55:49 UTC

very crafty

2021-03-18 14:55:50 UTC

very smart, strict, high expectations

They all look alike

2021-03-18 14:56:01 UTC

2021-03-18 14:56:09 UTC

great cooks

My Asian friend was harassed by a random white guy while she was riding her bike downtown.

2021-03-18 14:58:17 UTC

one of my old friends told me about how her parents are nail techs and a classmate made jokes about that. also hearing people make fun of the different languages and the way asian people speak

2021-03-18 14:58:21 UTC

my friends have told me stories of their own experiences

2021-03-18 14:58:31 UTC

yes

tpschaller — 2021-03-18 14:58:56 UTC

lots of microaggressions

cemarshall4 — 2021-03-18 14:59:48 UTC

I havent witnessed anything

2021-03-18 15:00:09 UTC

I feel like the racism towards Asians are more subtle. I usually try to ignore it or I'm too oblivious of people's malignant behavior.

2021-03-18 15:00:19 UTC

lot's of microaggressions like people who make racist comments (the eyes thing)

2021-03-18 15:00:32 UTC

some stereotypes like being smart can have an effect on sympathy maybe

tpschaller — 2021-03-18 15:10:43 UTC

some stereotypes abt affirmative action make it out to be easier for asians to get into college. the "of course you got in. they have to let you in. you're asian" rhetoric

2021-03-18 15:10:50 UTC

bc of steryotypes they have higher expectations and preceived as smart, lighter skin,

2021-03-18 15:11:14 UTC

stereotype about being smart can make teachers think I don't need help when I need it

2021-03-18 15:12:06 UTC

absolutely terrible, horrid. i hate it here

2021-03-18 17:06:50 UTC

everything is feeling sorta numb with just everything

2021-03-18 17:06:57 UTC

2021-03-18 17:06:59 UTC

I have a few Asian friends but a lot less than other friends :(

disgusted and revolted and also kind of violated as an asian

2021-03-18 17:07:06 UTC

Angry

2021-03-18 17:07:06 UTC

the fact that the media and people in positions of power were so quick and desperate to excuse white violence is infuriating

2021-03-18 17:07:07 UTC

sickening to the gut

2021-03-18 17:07:07 UTC

im wasian and have a lot of family living in chinatown so its really really scary

2021-03-18 17:07:32 UTC

2021-03-18 17:07:37 UTC

I see in tv a lot jokes about Asian women being bad at driving

i have asian friends and i like their food, music, culture, etc.

2021-03-18 17:07:42 UTC

2021-03-18 17:07:44 UTC

I’m terrified because of how normalized racism against Asians is

passive / quiet

2021-03-18 17:07:59 UTC

2021-03-18 17:08:00 UTC

Yes my best friend is Mexican but looks Asian and she was called ling ling by a group of boys all of freshman year

way too many

2021-03-18 17:08:02 UTC

2021-03-18 17:08:05 UTC

it's horrible and completely unsurprising about how much it was glossed over by the media

I have asian friends and neighbors, I indulge in their food and art

2021-03-18 17:08:12 UTC

I have heard stories of racist encounters from my old neighbors

2021-03-18 17:08:16 UTC

a lot, but a good amount of model minority

2021-03-18 17:08:29 UTC

smart / quiet / thin / good at cooking / bad driver

2021-03-18 17:08:49 UTC

i have

2021-03-18 17:09:05 UTC

2021-03-18 17:09:25 UTC

It took me so long to actually here about it

tiny

2021-03-18 17:09:37 UTC

On the internet all the time

2021-03-18 17:09:41 UTC

im not asian and i didnt grow up surrounded around many asians

2021-03-18 17:09:54 UTC

2021-03-18 17:10:03 UTC

idk my community is very isolated race-wise so not much of a relationship eek that sounds rly bad

2021-03-18 17:11:26 UTC

I am Asian, and I often feel very ashamed about how much racist comments that were made about me that I let slide. My dad grew up on the east coast and became very white washed and I just feel a bit lost sometimes.

2021-03-18 17:13:17 UTC

i lived in Pakistan for four years so central/south asia is familiar to me

2021-03-18 17:14:23 UTC

I have asian friends who I tend to exchange culture with and we all like to stand up for one another's right. I also have been told many times that I am blasian but considering I have 2 black parents I'm just going to have to just 😬

those stereotypes that hypersexualize asian women

2021-03-18 17:14:48 UTC

ok this one is kinda wild but im wasian lol already said that but someone was like omg wasians are so pretty because they have those ethnic features without being too yellow TO MY FACe

2021-03-18 17:15:19 UTC

super smart

2021-03-18 17:16:35 UTC

asians are only east asians and south asia is like a different thing because their skin is darker

2021-03-18 17:16:39 UTC

2021-03-18 17:17:40 UTC

that they're really smart but my friends are kinda dumb and I mean that in the nicest way possible. also that they all have slanted eyes, but I know that some Asians have larger or round eyes

2021-03-18 17:17:57 UTC

I have a couple friends that are Asian . My girlfriend and her family are also Asian. Everyone from an Asian background is very nice.

yes. it has just become a part of today's society

2021-03-18 17:23:26 UTC

2021-03-18 17:26:44 UTC

Yes, one of my friends was getting made fun of for her eyes by a group of idiots(boys) so I proceeded to make fun of their 🍆 😗✌

2021-03-18 17:34:45 UTC

they rarely get questioned in their judgment and people never call them rowdy or ghetto.

that we don't get targeted for hate crimes

2021-03-18 17:39:40 UTC

all the race-crimes make me almost feel kind of guilty abt being white

2021-03-18 17:41:58 UTC

Anger to the point of sadness. And the fact I only heard about it this morning.

2021-03-18 18:48:54 UTC

Dis

2021-03-18 18:48:56 UTC

It was kind of freaky because we had had an assignment in Civics on Monday in regards to the anti-Asian harassment. So to hear about it like immediately after we had talked about the lack of media coverage for the AAPI community, it was a terrifying coincidence.

2021-03-18 18:49:02 UTC

really upsetting and hurtful

2021-03-18 18:49:06 UTC

What happened was truly horrible. It hurts to see that that these things keep happening.

2021-03-18 18:49:28 UTC

I am not the slightest bit of Asian, but I have a lot of Asian friends.

2021-03-18 18:49:37 UTC

asian people often get infantilized, both women and men are viewed as generally weaker or smaller. They're also very sexualized at the same time.

2021-03-18 18:50:02 UTC

Very smart

2021-03-18 18:50:09 UTC

2021-03-18 18:50:46 UTC

im not asian but me and my family have a lot of close friends who are and regardless it is very upsetting to see this happen to any asian people

I have asian friends and some family member my cousins and aunt

2021-03-18 18:50:55 UTC

only on the internet and mostly from secondhand stories from my Asian friends and family

2021-03-18 18:51:12 UTC

there are a few instances that I was present for some ignorant comments

I don't know how to describe how furious and heartbroken I am.

2021-03-18 18:51:23 UTC

Quiet and smart

2021-03-18 18:51:29 UTC

I witnessed adults talking degradingly about Asians and saying their all just the same or what's the difference and their all weird and I tried to tell them to stop but since I'm younger they won't listen to me

2021-03-18 18:52:00 UTC

I am asian specifically south asian

2021-03-18 18:52:31 UTC

I am not asian but I have a few friends who are. As a poc however, I am with them and it hurts to see their community in pain and being targetted without proper media coverage about it.

2021-03-18 18:53:16 UTC

I have asian friends, and some adopted family members

2021-03-18 18:53:30 UTC

I have a few adopted family who are Asian and I have a bunch of Asian friends.

2021-03-18 18:54:14 UTC

2021-03-18 18:55:14 UTC

i’m southeast and west asian

2021-03-18 18:55:42 UTC

they can’t drive

2021-03-18 18:55:44 UTC

it is really scary and upsetting

2021-03-18 18:56:22 UTC

one of my friends is brown asian and regularly says he feels uncomfortable around white people or in places with mainly white people

they prefer a white complexion, their families have high standards, and are good at school

2021-03-18 18:57:25 UTC

I have experienced racism towards asians and also through the media. Theres a lot of microaggressions that go unnoticed

2021-03-18 18:58:48 UTC

how do i approach an asian friend with helping them through this? Its difficult to think of what type of support I would expect if it was my community being targeted. I just don't know how to be there for them. without making it seem like it is part of the media making me do it.

2021-03-18 19:14:43 UTC

You're an amzaing teacher

2021-03-18 19:15:11 UTC

I wish more teachers or media talked about it

2021-03-18 19:15:48 UTC

I feel like there are definitely wrong things to say, but I don't know if there's a right thing to say

2021-03-18 19:17:51 UTC

everyone has different opinions. I've seen people's stories like "speak up" and others say "this isnt your time"

I hate how all these bad things have to happen in order for someone to actually address on going and serious issues

2021-03-18 19:18:40 UTC

its fucked up

2021-03-19 13:05:47 UTC

tired and kind of anxious for my family members

2021-03-19 13:06:59 UTC

it's really upsetting

2021-03-19 13:07:09 UTC

very minimal

2021-03-19 13:08:28 UTC

im asian

2021-03-19 13:08:49 UTC

that they are smart

2021-03-19 13:09:14 UTC

i'm not asian but i am a poc so i relate to the feeling of feeling unsafe in public because of my race

2021-03-19 13:09:20 UTC

some racist jokes

2021-03-19 13:10:32 UTC

i'm part southeast asian and grew up around a lot of asian culture

2021-03-19 13:10:50 UTC

Someone asked me if my chickens were made of rats when I was in 5th grade and I didnt even realize there was something wrong with that statement at the time

2021-03-19 13:12:13 UTC

I'm angry that a white policeman tried to excuse the shooter with a "He was having a bad day" phrase.

2021-03-19 13:13:46 UTC

they have no personality

2021-03-19 13:14:26 UTC

ridiculous that this is like the fourth day now that we've had to talk about a major event in class bc of someone being racist

2021-03-19 17:06:52 UTC

i almost feel like im becoming numb to this kind of news because it happens so much and that is a really scary bad feeling

2021-03-19 17:07:07 UTC

things like this should not happen

2021-03-19 17:07:15 UTC

SO many feelings

2021-03-19 17:07:28 UTC

It's just so angering, frustrating, and sad. The fact that people tried to excuse the shooters behavior too is disgusting.

"he was just having a good day"

2021-03-19 17:07:34 UTC

no...that's not how it works

2021-03-19 17:07:38 UTC

It is crazy how there is any debate whether it was an Asian hate crime or not

Shocked

2021-03-19 17:07:40 UTC

The bullshit excuses got me messed up hate crimes have to stop

2021-03-19 17:07:58 UTC

Angry at the event, and angrier at the lack of proper response

2021-03-19 17:08:03 UTC

short and smart

2021-03-19 17:08:20 UTC

2021-03-19 17:08:39 UTC

Just really sad. This year has already been so hard like...

Being a person of color I can kind of understand the frustration as well as concerns, a lot of my friends are really tired and drained

2021-03-19 17:08:51 UTC

2021-03-19 17:08:56 UTC

im just frustrated because how do people still live in that kind of mindset

My grandmother is from hong kong but I look very white so I haven't experienced any prejudice/stereotyping

2021-03-19 17:09:19 UTC

I was born in China and my family came here looking for a better life

2021-03-19 17:10:31 UTC

I feel like in general in the media a lot of racist jokes and micro aggressions are brushed off towards the Asian community or asians.

2021-03-19 17:14:05 UTC

....

2021-03-19 17:14:21 UTC

It just kind of came to me that I've only met like 2 Asian people in my LIFE, that's whack. But I mean I live in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood.

i have asian friends

2021-03-19 17:14:58 UTC

2021-03-19 17:15:00 UTC

cant see well and that parents want their kids to be doctors

2021-03-19 17:15:10 UTC

A stereotype is that Asians keep to themselves and kind of just stay friends with just Asians

strict parents

2021-03-19 17:15:15 UTC

smart

2021-03-19 17:17:43 UTC

From middle school boys

2021-03-19 17:20:26 UTC

I swear middle school boys were SO MEAN and RACIST to the Mandarin teacher :'( Oh and when I called them out for it they would just laugh AND the school staff didn't do anything either!

From my parents

2021-03-19 17:20:36 UTC

I have witnessed people at my old school make racist comments and they'd make fun of Asian students

2021-03-19 17:20:41 UTC

I haven't experience racism myself but many of my friends have

2021-03-19 17:20:42 UTC

There is a misconception that asian families have perfect families and make lots of money

2021-03-19 17:23:34 UTC

good for you for getting that order!!!!

2021-03-19 17:31:50 UTC

thank you for sharing your experiences

2021-03-19 17:32:13 UTC

2021-03-19 17:32:19 UTC

like in what world would yellow squares be good for anything
