There has been a significant surge in hate crimes against Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, according to New York City police data. We spoke to one victim, a Filipino American man named Noel, who describes waiting for a subway train in New York before being slashed across the face with a knife. He, like many in the AAPI community, is speaking out to take a stand against these attacks in the hope prevent further violence on Asian Americans.

I was wondering why no one was covering all the racism against Asians. Growing up in NY I saw this all the time.

Noel has such a positive attitude despite the fact that he was a victim of a hate crime. What an amazing man.

Let me get this straight,
We eat asian food , We watch asian shows ,
WE USE ASIAN CULTRE AS A TREND.
But when an asian is in trouble we just sit back and watch. This is honestly so sad.

Racist: go back to your country
Asians: We are American too why?
Racist: you not from here
Asians: even you not from there, true inhabitants of Americas are Paleo Americans
Native Americans: we resemble Asian

The attacker only charged with assault he should be sitting in prison for what he did to him , and paying him a lot of money every month for his medical bills

The fact that everyone ignored Noel when he was begging for help made me cry. How could anyone be so heartless?

This behaviour is disgusting. Instead, we need to stand up and support each other.

My heart broke at hearing Noel's story. He has every right to feel anger and resentment, yet he finds forgiveness and compassion in his heart. The world would be a better place with more people like Noel.

The Filipino who's been slashed on face, he will bring the scar until his last breath without doing anything bad to anyone and still forgive and accept what happened. I hope, everything will be better. I always pray for peace and unity.
PS: We don't need to prove ourselves to anyone, remember that we belong to this world, this is OURS! No one own this!
To kuya Noel, and to every Asian, I'm always here, praying! Mabuhay kayo! God bless 🙏
Love from Philippines 🇵🇭
