(Unbelievable - and no one helped!) Video footage of the assault provided by police shows the suspect kicking the victim to the ground — then stomping her in the head several times as she was down on the ­sidewalk.

A 65-year-old woman was walking to church past a West 43rd Street apartment building on Monday when she was assaulted by a stranger without provocation who said, “F–k you,  you don’t belong here,” the brute yelled at the woman before kicking her to the ground.

Several men from a nearby residential building witnessed the crime, the footage shows, but did not try to help the woman.

One of the men, who was undoing packages, watched the entire incident unfold, the footage shows. Two other witnesses — who appear to be building security — walked over to the door as the attack ended, but did not chase after the suspect.

According to the United States Department of Justice, unlawful acts directly targeting Asian American community members has risen exponentially. On January 26, 2021, President Biden issued the "Presidential Memorandum Condemning and Combating Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance Against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States" which mandates that the "Attorney General shall explore opportunities to support, consistent with applicable law, the efforts of State and local agencies, as well as Asian American Communities and Community-Based Organizations, to prevent discrimination, bullying, harassment, and hate crimes against Asian American.

Between March and December last year,  a recorded nearly 3,000 reports of anti-Asian hate incidents nationwide. 



“Our people are getting attacked. Our people are getting harassed, spat on, beat up, slashed,”  “Please, somebody pay attention. Please, notice us. Give me confirmation that I am American, too. I just haven’t been able to feel that in a long time.”

“There was just so much hate,” Rep. Grace Meng said. “And even though I and so many Asian Americans were born and raised in the United States of America, there are always instances where we are made to feel that we are foreigners, that we are just not good enough in some people’s eyes to be American.”

Mayor Peggy Huang, A Deputy Attorney General, former Senator Gloria Romero and a team of attorneys are also available for comments as we reach out and encourage others in their city to reach out to their Mayor for an Asian Hate Crime Task Force and start to create a National Asian Hate Crime Registry.

The recent horrid and senseless attack against Asian American is just pure hate. Hate is hate. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Everyone who is fighting against racism should be appalled! Like BlackLivesMatter, we are asking people of all races and cultures that we truly need your support! This is racism, xenophobia and intolerance! This is not just about hatred toward one race! This is about just about hate! We need each and everyone who stands for justice and good in this world to come to support and champion to fight against racism, not just Asian Hate Crimes! Yes, there is the difference thinking Asian Hate Crimes are only COVID-19 Pandemic related. Asian Hate has been on-going since the first Asian was brought to America to build America Infrastructure, the Railroad. I want to repeat so this is clear. This is racism NOT just a wave of Asian Hate Crimes! Hope this helps to start broadening the real reason of what has been happening. Hate against Asian Americans started when the first Chinese American was brought to America to work on the railroad or support those who worked on the railroad.

Hope this helps.

=============================================

The brutal assault of a 65-year-old Asian American woman in New York with three male onlookers doing nothing to assist the victim, captured on video, is the latest in a proliferation of assaults against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The brutality of the attack, with the assailant shouting “You don’t belong here!” as he stomped on the woman’s face, spouting anti-Asian slurs, should be a wake-up call that more must be done to address this grave injustice.

Fortunately, the assailant in New York was arrested, and the city, with almost 4,000 incidents of hate crimes reported nationwide since March 2020, is taking steps to increase policing in Asian communities.

On March 30, President Biden addressed the rising racism in the U.S. against Asian Americans, with plans to provide greater accessibility to hate crime data, requiring new training for local police to address hate crimes, and almost $50 million in grants to support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault who have language barriers. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Justice Department will conduct a 30-day internal review on steps Justice can take to improve the tracking and prosecution of hate crimes against people of Asian descent in the U.S.

President H.W. Bush signed a 1990 law requiring the Justice Department to track hate crimes in the U.S. on a yearly basis, with results from more than 18,000 local law enforcement agencies. The FBI reported that, in 2019, there were more than 7,000 hate crimes in the U.S., the most in a decade. 

Our leaders at the federal, state and local levels have a responsibility to do more to counter this escalation in crimes against Asian Americans. Actions taken by President Biden and states like New York are necessary first steps in addressing this recent surge in overt acts of racism.

Historically, systemic racism against Asian Americans has been part of the American narrative. The Chinese Exclusion Action of 1882, the internment camps for Japanese Americans during World War II, and the beating death of Vincent Chin in 1982 by two autoworkers obsessed with the success of the Japanese auto industry are just a few of the examples of racism toward Asian Americans in the U.S. This is part of our history, and it is important that textbooks continue to present it accurately for future generations of students.

The COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly has contributed to the recent surge in crimes against Asian Americans. Words from our leaders have consequences, and statements from former President Trump calling COVID-19 the “Chinese virus” or the “kung flu” apparently gave license to those who, for whatever reason, wanted to exclude or attack people of Asian ancestry.
