There has been a rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans since Trump singled out China and Japan as foreign enemies along with ISIS. 

The vast majority of these crimes have been anti-Chinese and anti-Chinese violence has been rising in some areas since 2015, but as usual Sinophobia is hurting everyone who could be mistaken for Chinese.

AAAJ (Asian Americans Advancing Justice) has created a website here where you can report anti-Asian hate crimes.

This is real life! This is real shit happening to real people! I don’t want to hear any more discourse that acts like Asians or Chinese people in particular are gonna be safe or don’t need to worry about the new regime

Ugh.  Sorry to hear that NO minority is safe (but not surprised).

Delete your Uber account, and make sure they know you did it because they’re racist, profiteering scabs.

I read that Lyft donated a million dollars to ACLU, so that may be a good alternative.

(Also the fact that uber does surge pricing in the first place… evil and horrible. Plus the whole company’s model is to be dirt cheap juuust long enough to rub out the competition–taxi services–and then to jack the prices up to taxi prices. Until then, they’re bleeding money, just hoping to wait it out until people have no other alternative.)
