“My opinion on the Asian hate crimes during the pandemic is that it shouldn’t exist. I am so disappointed at how we are being targeted regardless if it may have come from China or not. Hate is not the answer. Hurting others is not the answer. We need to work together to get through this pandemic. Everyone is dealing with this virus and it will disappear eventually so what is the point of the hate. Targeting me or anyone that looks like me is not the solution, it separates us.” - Gabriel, 9
