Talk about what is most upsetting or scaring you right now about the coronavirus pandemic.
There are many things that are scarring and upsetting me about the pandemic. But if I had to pick the top one, I would say that the rising cases of hate crimes against the AAPI community are the most upsetting. The feelings I have towards these crimes are much more personal compared to the others fears I have about the pandemic. This is also the first time I have witnessed/been aware of hate crimes towards Asians in my lifetime.These incidents of hate and violence towards the AAPI community has affected me emotionally in a way I have never experienced. When I go out in public I am hyperaware of my identity as an Asian woman. There is this fear that I have never experienced before about my race and gender. I fear that I might be the next victim of a hate crime.
