Dear Amy: My wife and I are both retired Asian-American professionals. Several months ago, a homeless person in a famous outdoor market came up to my wife and spit hot coffee in her face.
My wife called the police, and they identified the man. He has a past record and is mentally imbalanced. He was not arrested even though he has a record of inappropriate public activity and harassment.
Also, I'm concerned that if someone attacks us, I will actually harm this mentally ill person, and I would be the one who would be sent to jail.Dear Anonymous: The history of hate crimes against Asian Americans is long and heartbreaking. I believe that the answer ─ to your safety and to your sense of well-being ─ lies in solidarity, activism, and empowerment.
I also suggest that you do your best to advocate with the police and through the media to demonstrate what steps they are making to assist your community. I have anywhere from four months to a year remaining , and I would much rather see this money put to a good use after my death.
