Hundreds of people protested in 60 cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, against violence, racist attacks and hate campaigns against Asians in the United States. About two weeks ago, eight people, including most Asian women, were killed in a shooting at three massage parlors in Atlanta, Georgia. According to the AFP news agency, the demonstrators demonstrated in major cities, including New York and Washington, because the United States has seen a significant increase in attacks on Asians. The Corona virus epidemic led to an increase in attacks on Asian Americans, with online harassment alone increasing by 6%.
“We are Americans, we are mothers, we are friends, we live here, we love our nation, it affects us all and we belong to someone,” said Ling Liu, one of the protesters on Saturday. Do not want violence against. “We’ve been suffering from the epidemic for a year now, and violence against Asians has increased,” said Judy Cheng, another protester. Organizers of the protests blamed the ongoing tensions between the United States and China for the protests against Asians, which are escalating with each passing day. “As many Asians as we know in the United States have been subjected to violence and harassment,” said Judy Cheng. The March 16 killing of eight people, including six Asian women, in the United States has raised concerns across the country and raised fears that hate incidents could escalate in the days of the epidemic. It should be noted that when the United States began to spread the virus in early 2020, several American politicians, including US President Donald Trump, called the corona virus the Chinese virus or the Wuhan virus.
