LOS GATOS, CA The Los Gatos Town Council Tuesday intended to discuss the recent rise in hate crimes aimed at Asians and Asian Americans, but its meeting turned into an unexpected gripe session by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
The meeting took place a week after someone shoved a woman of Filipino descent to the ground while she walked in Los Gatos and told her to go back to [expletive] China. It was the latest in a rising spate of hate crimes and incidents targeting Asian Americans in the Bay Area and around the country.
