I woke up this morning to an outpouring of rage and sadness as I scrolled through my Twitter feed. Another crime against Asian Americans, this one more violent than the rest. As of this writing authorities haven’t labeled this a hate crime, but it’s hard to think it’s anything other than that: it was Asian businesses that were targeted and six of the eight people killed were Asian women. Unlike others, who are able to share their feelings and thoughts so eloquently in these moments, I’m at a loss. All I can say is I’m angry. I’m sad. I’m scared.

I was hesitant to write a comment because there is so much that I want to say, but I struggle to find the words (if any) to heal your pain. You are not alone in your anger, sadness, and fear. So many stand beside you to lift you up and give you strength during this time. This homegrown terrorism must end. Hate crimes must end. Racism must end. My thoughts are with you and the victim’s families.

You've said all you need to say. As others have already said, there is not excuse for it, period.
When will we learn? Will we ever learn?
