Former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Asuka sat down with Entertainment Tonight Canada to talk about her wrestling career and being an Asian star in WWE. The topic of the recent uptick in violence against Asians in North America was also brought up, something Asuka understandably feels strongly about.
“I hate it! I hate it! I don’t understand,” Asuka said. “It’s a waste of time to be hateful. Why people attack other people? We are people, right? I don’t understand. I hate it.”
Unfortunately Asuka herself hasn’t been immune to racism. She described an event that took place at airport last year, right around the time the COVID-19 pandemic began.
