Here is what’s been going on the #AsianAmerican community for years. It’s nothing new, but with social media and pages like @nextshark, a lot of it is coming to light.

The video of Vicha Ratanapakdee being attacked is hard to watch... the 84-year-old died 2 days later.
And this is another attack on an elderly Asian man just days after Ratanapakdee was killed.

This one caught on surveillance video is of a 91yo man, just walking on the sidewalk in Oakland’s Chinatown.

He was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
Oakland PD said the suspect approached 2 other victims shortly after this. A 55yo woman lost consciousness. Another man, 60, was also hurt.

Actors @danieldaekim & @danielwuyanzu offering up to $25K for info that leads to this suspect being ID’d & arrested. (More on @nextshark)
Sadly many in the #AsianAmerican community feel like people don’t care about these attacks on our elders... who are being targeted simply because they’re elderly & Asian. https://twitter.com/franceswangtv/status/1358118014097489921
