Anderson Cooper 360

Atlanta shootings a terrifying escalation for Asian Americans

Listen Later

Since the Covid-19 pandemic began Asian Americans throughout the United States have been verbally harassed, spat on and injured in a “disgusting pattern of hate.” Even though police haven’t determined a motive, the Atlanta spa shootings that killed eight people, most of them Asian, jolted a community already on edge. Professional basketball player Jeremy Lin revealed he was called “coronavirus” on the court. He joins AC360 to discuss the rise of attacks and violence against the AAPI community since the start of the pandemic and the racism he’s personally experienced. Plus, Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez tells Anderson Cooper why he called one of his Republican colleagues’ remarks about the Capitol insurrection “racist,” “hurtful” and a “stain” on his office.
