This is Joonhee Han. He was a 19-year-old Korean boy who was beaten to death by a black man in broad daylight in Los Angeles.
Joonhee was simply walking in Koreatown when a black man approached him on a scooter and violently pushed him from behind. After Joonhee hit his head on the ground, the attacker kept punching Joonhee’s head against the pavement. A few days later, he was declared brain dead and passed away.
National news won’t cover this story because it was another black-on-Asian violent crime. There will be no protests, no outrage, no advocacy from Asian celebrities and activists for this young Korean man who was murdered because the race of the perpetrator poses a threat to their racial narratives. Cowards, utterly shameful.
Joonhee Han and his family deserve better. When will the black-on-Asian violence stop and when will we finally get accountability for it?
