America has a problem of systemic discrimination against some races. This time, the target is Asian Americans. The scale? Nationwide.

One of the most recent stunning disclosures came from law enforcement. On Wednesday, one day after the bloody serial killing of eight people in Atlanta, six of the victims Asian women, Georgia Sheriff"s Captain Jay Baker described the 21-year-old suspect Robert Aaron Long as "kind of at the end of his rope, and yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did".

Many considered Baker"s remarks unprofessional and unconscionable. The fact that Long has scrutinized his prey and chose spas operated by Asians to open fire, in my opinion, indicated that he has stereotyped Asian women at spas as sex workers, and he is a racist. The coward was trying to legitimize his shootings by using his so-called "sex addiction" as a sheer excuse.

"Baker on one hand said the investigation is still in an early stage. On the other hand, he can"t conceal his impulse to whitewash the killer"s motivation," said Maggie Luo, a San Francisco resident. "That"s really offensive to the Asian community."

Baker also reportedly shared in 2020 an image of a T-shirt on Facebook, which contained a racial slur associating the coronavirus with China. "Covid 19: imported virus from Chy-na," the slogan on the front read. According to The Daily Beast, the T-shirts were made by a company owned by a former deputy sheriff for Cherokee County, where Baker is stationed.

"A law enforcement officer is trying to entitle this pandemic to China? This is problematic, this is disgusting," said Joshua Steckler, a history teacher at a California middle school. "This is not in any way how an American should perform. This is another drop in the bucket of racism in our country."

Racial discrimination against Asians is on the street.
