After Robert Aaron Long, a 21-year-old white man, was arrested for the shootings, Kim posted,"The race of the person committing the crime matters less than the simple fact that if you act with hate in your heart, you are part of the problem. And to those with the power to help and yet sit idly by, your silence is complicity. #StopAsianHate"
"Enough is enough," wrote Kaling."The targeting of our Asian brothers and sisters is sickening, but not surprising given the normalizing of anti-Asian hate speech in the past year." The shootings, which occurred at three Atlanta-area spas, follow the spike in attacks against Asian Americans that has coincided with the coronavirus pandemic. Experts have criticized Donald Trump and his former administration for fanning the flames of violence by referring to COVID-19 as a"China virus" or"Wuhan virus."posted in the wake of Tuesday's attacks."And GOP leaders, stop fanning violence with anti-Asian rhetoric.
The race of the person committing the crime matters less than the simple fact that if you act with hate in your heart, you are part of the problem. And to those with the power to help and yet sit idly by, your silence is complicity.
TooFab Sooo now you posting about it? After celebrities speak about the situation? Ok
TooFab Everyone pay attention... celebs have chimed in 😂
TooFab No they're not
TooFab Many of these women who were shot were likely victims of sex trafficking. Where is the outrage about that?
TooFab I just tweeted a little story about a traffic accident and a lifelong friendship that came from it in specific! StopAsianHate!
TooFab I’m sorry guess what us black folks been subjected too ain’t shit but ok I get it.
TooFab It should not matter what a person looks like on the outside. What matters most is the kindness of one's heart and the intelligence in one's head.
TooFab That was violence against WOMEN not specifically Asians. Everything is not a race issue. But it sells and people are simple minded enough to latch on to every race card out there so go right ahead.
