Daniel Dae Kim, Mindy Kaling and other actors of Asian descent denounce Atlanta area mass shooting

TheWrap

A gunman's alleged killing of eight people, including six Asian women, at three different massage parlors in the Atlanta area appears to be the latest hate crime targeting the Asian community since the start of the pandemic. “The race of the person committing the crime matters less than the simple fact that if you act with hate in your heart, you are part of the problem. And to those with the power to help and yet sit idly by, your silence is complicity,” tweeted Daniel Dae Kim, who added the hashtag #StopAsianHate. Mindy Kaling added: “The targeting of our Asian brothers and sisters is sickening, but not surprising given the normalizing of anti-Asian hate speech in the past year. We have to #StopAsianHate, enough is enough!”
