The league said it was deeply concerned with Howell weaponizing the experiences of Japanese Americans to make her point and asked her to immediately take steps to rectify her actions, according to a letter addressed to Howell and posted on Facebook. We absolutely object to the use of our community s experiences in your comparison, the league wrote. In this time of heightened anti-Asian sentiment and radicalized violence, your careless and misinformed comments undermine public health efforts at the disproportionate expense of Communities of Color.
