On April 6, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution to condemn anti-Asian Pacific Islander (API) hate and denounce xenophobia, affirming the county’s commitment to the wellbeing and safety of the API community. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, API communities throughout the country have experienced a significant increase in acts of discrimination, racial profiling, microaggressions, violence and hate crimes.
At the March 24 Del Mar Union School District board meeting, Trustee Gee Wah Mok opened up about the rise in hate crimes and the fear that many people in the community are feeling right now. Mok was among the large group who took a stand against Asian hate at a demonstration in Pacific Highlands Ranch on March 21.
