Sakura Kokumai, a karate champion slated to represent the United States in the 2021 Olympic Games, was verbally attacked with racial slurs in California. It happened in broad daylight: many bystanders recorded with their phones, but no one came forward to help.

Judging from the video, Sakura Kokumai can defend herself. But what will happen if the victim is an Asian senior or an Asian child?

Einstein said: "The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of those who are evil, but because of those who don't do anything about it."

Hate crimes against Asian Americans are rising -- LAPD just reported the number of cases in LA has doubled within 1 year.

New York Times just posted the following statistics about hate crimes against Asian Americans.

Americans believe in righteousness, please do not be bystanders! Do the right thing!
