——2021-03-30 被说“长得不像美国人”，亚裔老兵现场展示伤疤……

An elected official in Ohio, fed up with people questioning his patriotism because he's Asian American, bared his chest during a recent town meeting to reveal scars from injuries he suffered while in the US Army.
“People question my patriotism, that I don’t look American enough,” Mr. Wong said at the meeting. “They cannot get over this face.”
He told CNN that he's dealt with abuse and discrimination in silence — ranging from children making racist facial gestures at him to being beaten up because of his race shortly after he came to America. That attack derailed his plan to become a pharmacist and is one of the reasons he joined the Army.
“You know prejudice is hate, and that hate can be changed,” he said. “We need to be kinder, gentler to one another, because we are all the same. We are one human being on this earth.”
Anti-Asian hate crimes are up 150% during the pandemic, according to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino.
"Anti-Asian racism has been burning like wildfire across North America over the past year" a statement from the Chinese Canadian National Council for Social Justice reads.
