Chee, who is Korean-American, delivered a powerful monologue on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday's massacre that resulted in eight dead, including six Asian females. "Most outlets have failed to call it what it is: a hate crime. Because it is a hate crime," said Chee. "The shooter — a racist, a misogynist, and a coward — specifically targeted working class Asian women. He went after people in one of the most vulnerable intersections of our community." Chee also denounced the media for repeating his side of the story, as told by the sheriffs, that he was having a bad day and that he was a sex addict. "This killing spree was not the result of a bad day," she said. "This was the result of a misogynist, racist hatred that stems from white supremacy. This was a textbook hate crime."
