Out of everything, that’s possibly the weirdest thing to take from this story and be upset about.



It was a pretty dismissive thing to say, people are rightly upset and latching on to it. Didn’t help that the sheriff previously shared something on social media that people are also reading as anti-asian or generally insensitive.

with the treatment of asian americans over the past year being much worse, there’s a lot of justified emotion surrounding this issue.

in a report released by the vancouver police department, anti-asian hate crimes increased by 717 per cent from 2019 to 2020.

To date, british columbia also surpasses any sub-national region in north america for having the most reported anti-asian hate crime incidents per asian capita.
