Assaulting the elderly of any race is just gross and cowardly. I'm glad this man was caught.

[gilbertflores]

Racism towards any race is wrong! Plain & simple. Stop the hate its disgusting.

[ELEKTRARE]

Olivia is an Amazing Woman so genuine so involved in helping Asian American Community gurl

[jamestan]

So proud to have a fellow sister/daughter/niece/granddaughter, awesome women speak out for her own communities.

Olivia is a true super hero and incredibly brave to speak out. I’m inspired.

Thank you for your comments. As a white woman and naturalized citizen, I am trying to learn all I can about the Asian experience. Your comments were eye-opening, and also very touching. I found myself in tears. I was horrified by what happened to Sam’s mother. And I was deeply moved by your courage and your eloquence in speaking about your community and other marginalized communities. Thank you fir your voice and for advocating for Asian victims of violence. 💗

I don’t think I can just stand there doing nothing seeing low life hurting innocent elderly. We all need to step up doing something when seeing someone is hurting elderly people doesn’t matter black, white, Asian, Latino or any human being we need to learn to do the right things.

My father taught me the same thing. He used to say that sometimes we must speak up for those who are unable to speak for themselves or if you could make a difference

[quinnmorgendorffer]

Whoa she is getting more beautiful with age.

[anonymousanonymous]

Racism is not just what you say, think, do, and feel. It is also what you allow...

[LuisRodriguez-htem]

So beautiful, so intelligent and so right. Much respect

[Quandryification]

"You dont like that I feel comfortable existing"
