New York, Apr 28 (EFE News).- Attacks on Asians since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic have spurred members of that community in New York City to flock to self-defense workshops where they learn how to protect themselves when faced with racist attacks, a phenomenon that is directed increasingly against the more marginalized and vulnerable groups in society.
“The Asian-American community’s being faulted for the spread of Covid … We’re scapegoated, and so all the physical attacks have been happening, and we’ve seen some really horrific videos,” the executive director of the Asian American Federation, Jo-Ann Yoo, told EFE in an interview.
