Yet another incident of anti-Asian hate in the diverse city of Fremont near San Francisco.
This time it happened to a 10-year old girl and her mother, reports the Taiwan Times.
Video which has has gone viral shows a racist woman screaming “go back to China” to the mom and her daughter.
In an exclusive interview with ABC7 News, the mother who asks only to be identified as Theresa says the conversation started innocently enough.
The woman introduced herself and Theresa said the two exchanged pleasantries. Then the woman began asking Theresa whether she was a renter or a homeowner. Suddenly the woman imploded.
In the video, you can hear the racist screaming “Go back to China, go back to China” as she walked toward the pair.
“Thank you so much,” Theresa responded. “Please stay back. You don’t have a mask on.”
Later she spoke to ABC7’s Dion Lim.
“When she first introduced herself I said ‘oh, it’s so lovely to meet you.'”
Then the situation quickly spiraled.
“I feel real upset and distressed about it,” said Theresa who described herself as Asian, but says she is not Chinese. She says the woman also screamed homophobic slurs at them.
This is the second known anti-Asian incident in Fremont in just a few months. Last month, AsAmNews reported on the beating of Taranpreet Kaur, A Sikh man severely pummeled by two teens while he went for a walk in the park. The beating left him with injuries to his head and his eyes severely bruised.
Neighbors hope something positive can come from all the hate.
“We should have a productive and positive conversation about what’s going on so we can facilitate change,” said Theresa on social media, according to the Taiwan Times.
