An incident in which an Asian American mother says she was spit at while holding her baby and called the Chinese virus is being investigated as a possible hate crime. I didn t think it was so close to home, Linda Toh said. And now I m afraid to go out and my kid is afraid to go out.
She says her mother waited a day to tell police.
Culturally, Asians are taught to not speak up, keep their heads down and plow forward.
Nancy Toh also didn t want to go to the hospital because she can t afford the medical bills.
It happened Tuesday night around 7:30 p.m. outside of Nordstrom at the Westchester Mall in White Plains.
