At a public city council meeting for the City of Carnation on July 20, 2021, the Interim City Manager made the following racially derogatory comment:
"Just about the time we think we’ve got a problem solved, something else changes. And I was referring to it with Council as playing Chinese baseball, where when you get up to hit, it’s just like American baseball, when you get up to hit, then they move the bases. And every time I think something is set, the base moves."
This comment was captured in the video recording for the meeting, at around 2:04:35.
My wife and I, both Asian females, visited the Stonehouse Cafe to join a colleague of mine who is White. We went there once previously last Friday and worked for a few hours. When my colleague sat down, the staff was friendly towards him. They helped him set up his computer and charger. As soon as my wife and I walked in, staff started looking at us. A moment later, the owner came out and started badgering us about "staying here for too long". He questioned specifically my behavior in my last visit, having heard other staff talking about me. The questioning went on for five to ten minutes, during which we kept asking, "Do you want us to leave?", to which he replied no, but wouldn't leave us alone. We had to leave along with our colleague who was also outraged by the discriminatory behavior.
We live near the Magnolia village and my almost 3 year old son loves the small playground next to the Magnolia Community Center. When coming back home today around 12PM from the playground, my boy notices a Ferrari and as he loves cars he gets closer to the car to look at it. My wife explained to the driver that our son loves cars and that he has a replica of a Ferrari. That is when this racist driver started harassing my wife saying stuff like "you Asian girls love expensive cars", "this is how I get Asian girls", "I have a friend running a strip bar in Asia" insulting Asian female as a whole. Not to mention he also said things like "does your husband work for facebook, if he does you guys will be too poor to own something like this". As a first generation immigrant, she wasn't able to argue with this person due to language barriers and came home with tears in her eyes. I am so shocked that this happened (this is not the first time but first time posting here) in such a peaceful neighborhood in the middle of the day when a mother was peacefully walking with his 3 year old son. I am writing so that people acknowledge that this has happened and becuase I don't want anyone else to experience something like this again.
I was dropping off a package at the post office, and arrived there at about 2:15-2:20pm on Tuesday, June 1st. The incident took place around 2:26pm (according to the time stamp of the pictures). As I exited the front post office building to go back to my car, a white man yelled, "Bitch, I ain't got no disease." I was taken aback by it because it was completely unexpected. I know masks are more relaxed now in my area due to more people being vaccinated, but you still have to wear a mask in public spaces. I believe he reacted this way to me because I wore a mask, I'm Asian American, and more specifically he reacted to my dodging him so I would remain 6+ feet away from him. This is the exit after all, and he was too close for comfort. After he yelled, "Bitch, I ain't got no disease!" at me, I went in to my car and it took me about a minute to recollect myself because I was a bit shaken up. I took a picture of his car. Thankfully, because right after that he proceeded to inch close to my car with his car, flipped me off, went behind my vehicle, rolled down his window, spat on my car, flipped me off again as he sped away. I was able to get the first three numbers of his license plate. It looked like it may be out of state or it was a new license plate because it didn't look like the typical Washington State plates. The first 3 numbers could potentially be: 174 or 173.
American Diagnostic is an extremely racist drug testing place. I am a black man. I went in to get drug tested for a new job. TWO times they denied testing my pee. And claimed that it was “fake pee.” I requested a swab or for someone to watch as I urinated. They denied both and kicked me out. There were witnesses.
They responded with “we test black guys all the time. We aren’t racist.”
King county declared racism as a public health crisis. And this is a prime example of it. Amazon sends their potential employees here. And now because of this incident, I have to drive to Renton to get tested.
I called and requested information regarding the business owner and they responded “good luck with that” and hung up.”
I am extremely distraught and unmotivated in regards to this event. I just moved to Seattle from the South thinking that Anti-blackness and racism would be something I wouldn’t have to deal with as much.
I would like to speak to someone in regards to this incident.
An individual was pressured to risk safety, health and well being. The individual’s choices and decisions are also disrespected.
On Thursday 4/29th/2021 late afternon, while I was out with my 6 years old daughter for her swim lesson. My husband was home alone after his long day from work while he is eating dinner. Someone knocked on the door very loud.
My husband picked through the window and saw Eric, the neighbor so he opend the door to see what he wants, Eric stated to yelling at my husband “ Are you okay!” start video taping my husband while his 4 years old daughter stand next to him. So my husband respond was “ I am okay. Are you okay?”. Then Eric stated to yelling at my husband Hendrik again, “ Are you okay!” So my husband told him to get off from our property. Then Eric started to yelling again "Be a man, lets fight”.
My husband was worried that Eric was at our house to pick a fight. So my husband started video taped him for his own safety. Eric started get louder and louder for Hendrik to fight. So my husband heard landlord Josh was at the his parents Gloria and Jim property( right behing our house) so he walked over there to help and saw them how Eric act insane and being bully to us.
Since Covid-19 this is ongoing problem for us. We want Eric to stay in his property and stop harrasing ,bullying and racist comment.
Please help us with this on going problem since Covid 19 started since I’m Asian and my husband is Mexican decent. I know he is constantly harassing us because our ethnic background and his landlord think it is no big deal.
We attached the video for you to see Thank you for your consideration and time.
While walking down the street. Two young black men pulled over and started screaming death threats for spreading Covid and causing death. Fortunately there was traffic and bystanders and they quickly drove off
Racist attacker suddenly accelerated at full throttle through the oncoming lane to brake check the vehicle I was in to a full stop. Upon reaching a full stop, the attacker got out of his car and started to yell racist things (go back to China) while threatening to beat me and my father up. When I stood up and stated that I was a powerlifter, the idiot quickly got back into their car and ran away.
at around 11AM in downtown, Vancouver, WA I was sitting alone outside a coffee shop reading. A group of five white customers were at the other outdoor table to my right. A black man in sunglasses carrying a tablet walked by and asked me why I was wearing a mask. When I said for protection, he began to rant "Protection from what? Excuse me?! Protection from reading?!?!" He proceeded to scream "What planet are you from?!?! See, you don't belong here!" He pointed to the group of white bystanders who were not wearing masks screaming, "They belong here, but you don't belong here!" He took off hi sunglasses and came close, but were still separated by the table. He eventually walked away, but a half hour later, when I was unlocking my bike around the corner, he again started screaming at me. And once again, a few blocks away where I was trying to meet friends at a park, we happened to cross paths and he started charging at me. I was on my bike so didn't feel in real physical threat because he couldn't catch me and there were numerous bystanders, this being outside of a farmer's market where a line of people were waiting to enter.

The hate crime happened on 4/9 around 11:45 to 11:50 PM as my East Asian male colleague and myself (East Asian female) were walking with two others to lunch near the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. The male perpetrator was a thin built white male around late 30s to late 40s about 5'6" to 5'8", who was walking to the bus stop on the east side of Fairview Ave N, between Aloha S and Valley St, when he passed my East Asian male colleague and spat at him twice on his side and back of his shoulder. The white male was saying, "Yes, that's you" multiple times at me and at my East Asian male colleague. He then paused, saw me walking directly behind my colleague. We briefly made eye contact, then he spat twice at me. He did not spit at the two others with me and my East Asian male colleague, as they were not East Asian. I proceeded to keep walking and did not engage with the male perpetrator. The female that was walking besides me was a witness to this hate crime as well and able to give details. Unfortunately, my East Asian male colleague was not aware of what happened as it occurred behind his back directly in front of me.
I am reporting this incident on behalf of my mom. She was walking outside in her neighborhood. There was a man who was walking on the other side of the road. When my mom moved over to the right side of the road, the man followed her and continued to follow her as she was switching sides. There was a car who drove by and witnessed what was happening. The driver blocked the man from approaching my mom with the car. She then ran down the hill. The man began to run down the hill after her. Another car drove by and asked if she was okay. She explained that the man was following her. The drive from second car stayed behind and watched over my mom until she was able to enter her place of residence safely.
Elderly Asian Couple walking in neighborhood attacked by young man
I was walking down the street with my friend (Asian female). A man walking towards us on the sidewalk intentionally swung his arm and hit the female. He then acted aggressively and ran away when we threatened to contact the police.
Hate crime, harassment and stalking from the beginning of 03/2019 to 03/2021 in Edmonds, WA.
The couple are white racists that are in their 30s. He has dirty blond hair that looks like he's balding. He has a mustache and works as an exercise coach from what I was told. I really didn't want to know that information and really didn't care, but the workers at the townhouse complex told me that. He stands at 5'10" and is skinny medium. He looks like he's Scottish white racist. The racist white woman has brunette hair and is thin / medium built. She looks like she's 5'5" and looks unattractive, lacking a chin. She looks like a typical clone of how plain jane brunette white racists look like.
Those two white racists have harassed an older Asian woman that lived under their house, by stomping on her ceiling, dropping things on purpose, jumping loudly, etc. I know this because he has golf clubs and hit my wall and her ceiling. She moved out last October 2020 and she suggested that I move too because "it's getting worse." I am mixed race and I moved out in the beginning / middle of 03/2021. The racist white male called me "nigger." I am mixed race with brown skin. The racist white woman is paranoid. I had a ring door alarm that caught on how paranoid she is. In one video she says, "she's not going to break into our house?" and her racist white husband says "no." She also kept checking the front door after her racist white husband locked their front door and checks to see if its locked by turning their front door knob. I got my ring door alarm for safety and because those next door neighbors were also harassing me. The landlords seem to be on their side, as they are mostly white workers too. I reported the incidents to the police in Edmonds, but they also some seem to be white racists too. Plus a white cop told me that she personally knows the racist white neighbors that she's going to call them to tell them.
I honestly didn't know that Edmonds is known as a "rich white high class" neighborhood. It looks more like a run down trash area in some areas and many white people there are paranoid delusional, as if they have mental problems. They like to stalk and scare people of color, from what I seen, and then they run away fast. They're really creepy out there and they like to harass people. I honestly didn't know about Edmonds, WA. I have no doubt that they have some clans residing there or domestic terrorists.
As for the neighbors, most of them are white racists that like to harass people of color. And again, the landlords seem to keep white racists there. Not only was I harassed by white racist male neighbors, but also their white racist women were instigators and very paranoid. I really do not understand how they're that paranoid towards people of color, yet they all drive Asian cars.
I made police incident reports and sometimes some white cops would try to brush it off and ask why I would want an incident made for. I had one white cop tell me that he's smarter than me. I really do not know where that came from, but I hung up on him because he's clearly racist. I also knew he was white because he has a white last name and was trying to correct me on the constitution, which was scary. He's just a creepy white racist cop and I didn't want to talk to him anymore.
As for those white racists that lives in that townhouse that was next door to where I lived at, and they harassed me for 2 yrs., from 03/2019 - 03/14/2021. They kept going to their front door peephole to watch me and would laugh an evil laugh. They would also talk crap amongst each other. They would also listen in on me talking on my phone. I know this because the walls are thin, they left their windows and sliding door open and laughed when I said that those white racist neighbors are troublesome and might also be doing drugs too. I also have a ring video where they waited for me to leave and they were sitting in their car watching me. Then they started heading to their house, but was watching me walk away in the opposite direction and started talking crap about me, laughing.
I honestly didn't do anything to them. They hit my wall a lot, made a lot of noise, then started harassing me. I even told the landlords about it. The landlords suggested that I move to another unit away from them, but in that same racist white neighborhood. Also those white racist couple knew about it too and was laughing about it. They even said that if I don't move out, that they'll get me kicked out.
Again, they have paranoid mental issues, are cowards and are evil. They made a lot of trouble and made believe that they didn't do anything, but I have that as video evidence. They hide behind white professions that "protect" them because of the racist discriminatory white privilege. They harass people of color with their hate crimes. I wonder how many more people of color they harassed too.
The white neighbors that lives around the building are white racists too. Scary evil racist place.
A black customer told my sister and I twice to stay away from her because she doesn't want to catch anything from us. She was harassing me and my kids and then harassed my sister when walked by the person.
My wife and me were shopping for shrimp and fish heads at the fish house on Galveston when a group of Galveston residents started calling us gooks.
A man who was withdrawing money from an ATM started aggressively yelling slurs / threatening my friend after the two of us walked past. They didn't follow us but continued yelling until we rounded a corner onto another street. They were behaving very erratically, and we assumed they weren't in a stable state of mind so we didn't speak up or say anything.
Vandals used hay to write hateful messages in big block letters in the parking lot of the International Full Gospel Fellowship Church, a non-denominational congregation that also operates a daycare at the site.
One of the phrases was, “CHINA, YOU WILL PAY.” There was also an expletive in that message. Another message said "CHINA YOU WILL PAY. GO HOME.”
Church officials said the house of worship has been on the receiving end of four similar message this year: One in January, two in February and the most recent incident. All of the messages have been written in hay and all directed at China, officials said.
Following a request to a neighbor to move a truck that was blocking access to our house. I was called a “faggot” and my son was called a “half breed”. Other threats were made that implied the neighbor could do whatever he wants as he used to be a police officer.
SEATTLE — A high school teacher who is still recovering after she was randomly attacked last month in the Chinatown-International District said Tuesday that she believes she was targeted because of her nationality at a time when several U.S. cities have reported an increase in assaults against Asian Americans.
Noriko Nasu, a Japanese language teacher, said she believes she was targeted when she and Michael Poffenbarger, her boyfriend, were physically assaulted while walking near 7th and King streets around 9 p.m. on Feb. 25.
According to police records, a stranger attacked a young Asian American woman—striking her in the face with what appeared to be a rock in a sock. She was knocked unconscious and ended up suffering a fractured nose and several chipped teeth.
I first moved to Brackett apartments in March 2019. The white male, looks like in his 30s, came up to me out of the blue when I was moving my things to my house. He had then asked me if I could sit in his car and step on his brake pedal of his white beater chevy sedan because he wanted to see what light wasn't working and my gut instincts went off because he didn't have good energy! I told him that I would go and check his lights to see which one isn't working. Then he said thanks and then went to his house. I told the landlords and they said that that's strange because he has a wife to do that for him. I also told the police, being that I was asking for advice and the police told me that it's good that I listened to my gut instincts because WA has some bad people that are wanted for crimes.
As time went on, every time I went to my front door, that neighbor would go to his front door peephole and laugh hysterically, or his wife would do the same. And they did that each time I went to my house. They live on the 2nd floor across from me and an older Asian woman lived right below them. I used to talk to her and she would tell me to watch out because Edmonds doesn't have good people and that they are racist.
During that duration I had asked the landlords if I could get a ring door camera and it was approved. I wanted it because the racist white neighbors next door made me feel unsafe. They also had heavy foot traffic to their house, and him calling me a nigger to his white friend. I am brown skin mixed race (European, Asian, and Native mixed). He also said the "niggers are moving into this neighborhood." to his white friends. He also repeatedly said "nigger" over and over again.
He also had other white women over and they seem to be polygamous. I also told the landlords that they kept hitting my walls and thus how it all started and why I got my door camera too.
His wife sounded like she was accusing me of trying to break into their house. And that's caught on camera too. And she works for a law firm. She's very paranoid and I have never met her, nor would ever want to.
They also look like they are carrying guns, as there are videos where she makes it obvious that she's carrying one.
And in another video, her husband talks about her shooting.
They also have connections and friends with the police in Edmonds, as an Edmonds police told me that they know them personally. That's scary.
Also there's videos where an older white visitor in his 60s, went to their house and left their house quickly saying "he is sick!", as in he's not all there.
Also the landlords at Brackett seem to be for white racists, as there has been Asians moving out fast. They also tend to delete anything that notes about them being racist on their rental reviews. I know that because I went to see if there were other people that complained about racism and there had been other Asians that did leave comments on how the landlords at Brackett are racist. They deleted it.
We have a yard sign with the words 'Black Lives matter, Women's Rights are Human Rights, No HumanIs Illegal, Love is Love, etc' on our front lawn. At 7 AM on 2/28 we went out to get the paper and it had a red swastika painted over both sides of the sign. We have a trail camera that recorded the event happening by a stocky male on foot at about 5AM, but the low light and distance between the camera and the person make it impossible to ID him. This exact same thing happened on 11/12/20. We will be purchasing another sign so hate can not win!
I was taking a walk near my home alone, and a white adult male walking towards me spat on the sidewalk as he saw me. Because he was not wearing a mask and he seemed agitated, I dodged his path on the sidewalk to the bike lane to social distance. As he saw me move to the bike lane, he yelled at me, "Why don't you cook me some noodles, BITCH!" I did not respond and kept walking. He spat again as I walked past him, but I was far enough away that the spit did not reach me. I am a 100% East Asian female, and even with a mask, my race is very obvious.
