OAKLAND, Calif.—As the start of the Lunar New Year approached last week, concern was growing over a surge in hate crimes being experienced by Asian Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area, including several victims who were over 60 years of age.

The shout-out to Joe Biden aside, I’m glad that there’s some at least some focus being put on the Asian diaspora and what they have to go through in the United States right now. Let’s try to shine a light on this as much as we can, yeah? Anyway, let’s hope that people affected by this can get through it safe and sound, though I think it’ll be a long time before we see an end to this problem given the political climate and the New Cold War.
