Grieve for the Asian American women of Atlanta
4 min readMar 19, 2021
This last Tuesday, six Asian American women were murdered in Atlanta. It adds to the continued growth of anti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes in our country; dozens of attacks on elderly Asians and slayings of those of any age; violence in the thousands. Anti-Asian hate, violence and harassment are real. Brought on by more than a century of, among other harmful tactics, hyper-sexualization of Asian women in American media and racist demonization by our own government and media.
