The conversation with @oliviamunn was insightful, genuine & thoughtful. She’s a key person moving this conversation into the national conscience and it’s because she cares, she’s unafraid, and she’s doing the work. Beautiful inside & out. Great article @hellotonylee
I spoke with @oliviamunn and my friend Sam for @NBCNews@NBCAsianAmerica about the rise in anti-Asian crimes in America.
The article doesn't capture all the intense emotions we felt in the interview but I hope you can share and stand up with us.

I really appreciate all the supportive comments from people of all races who want to stop the attacks on Asian Americans. Your kind words mean so much and remind me that there’s a lot more love than hate out there.
It's just the latest Asian hate crime attack in a growing scourge of race related crime against the Asian community across the country.
@VickyNguyenTV has been reporting on this issue for nearly a year, here's her latest: https://t.co/XhuVutOHMf
A suspect is in custody after police said he knifed an Asian man in an unprovoked attack in Chinatown — the latest in a string of attacks against the Asian community in New York City

Most of the recent high profile cases involving Asian elders haven't been found to be racially motivated. But many refer to them as "hate crimes." Experts say misapplying the label can have unintended consequences, esp. if attackers, victims are of color

How social media has conflated hate crime, crime, hate incident. Stats don't show increase in hate crimes and none of the viral incidents show racial motivation. The wave of violence is tragic but correct terminology is impt. https://t.co/tgAK72MSIT
While race may play a factor in the vulnerability here, as @kimmythepooh talks about in her article, it’s important to establish the difference between those crimes & hate crimes in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Asian American community leaders express concern after 2 were targeted in crimes in Quincy, MA. Police not investigating incidents as hate crimes. But community expresses fear given nationwide anti-Asian attacks. @NBC10Boston@NECN#AsianAmericans#AAPI#StopAsianHateCrimes
Kudos to @jolingkent for this conversation with a candid, freewheeling Connie Chung about what Nixon asked (how much $ do you make) to how she dealt with the boys club and discrimination as a trailblazer for Asian American women in journalism. CC didn’t mince words.
California lawmakers passed a bill this week that would allocate $1.4M in state funds to tracking incidents of anti-Asian hate.
