A man of Korean ethnicity was reportedly beaten while riding a bus in
Rialto, California.
The man’s granddaughter revealed the incident in a post on Twitter,
which included a photo of a man who had been badly beaten.
“My grandpa was just beat on the bus because he’s Korean [because] they
didn’t want ‘the Chinese virus’ Trump started calling it the Chinese
virus and everyone started going after Asians,” she wrote. “Until you’re
beaten because of your skin color you don’t have a say.”
The granddaughter later reported that her grandfather is at home
recovering. She said police are trying to find the people responsible
for the beating.

Yes that’s true, but not all Asians are racists. Not all Black
people are racist, but today a black man beat my grandfather. That
doesn’t make me think all black people are bad. My step mother is
black and she’s amazing and loves all cultures. Every race plays a role.

Racism is often pushed aside for all races and it needs to be
acknowledged. The longer people stay silent the more it will be
normalized.
