It is a racial slur that would set off any Asian American. "One of them said 'Ch*** ch****," said Leting Cai. 15-year-old Cai was in a playground in Rego Park, Queens with two friends on May 1, when two other teens started harassing them. Cai wasn't going to take it. "Say that again," he said. Cai thought he had made his point, but the teen did not back down. He noticed the two teens were on the phone - they were calling for backup. Moments later, three others arrived. There were now five of them. Cai stood his ground, and again they were backing off - but when he was walking away with his back turned towards them, they jumped him. What followed was a relentless barrage of punches to the head.

"I feel like they really wanted me dead, I was pretty scared, I would say," said Cai. The beatdown left his head bruised and his eye swollen. He had a headache for weeks. Police arrested three of the five suspects - two 14-year-old boys and an 18-year-old girl. They were charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating. Angered by the attack, Assemblymember Rebecca Seawright introduced legislation that would mandate hate crime offenders to undergo counseling. "What happened to the 15-year-old in Queens is totally unacceptable," Seawright said. As for Cai, he says he had planned to remain silent, but then he changed his mind. "My mother really made me realize this is not only about me. This is about the community," he said, "If nobody speaks up, if everybody does the same as I do usually, no change will happen.

The hateful sentiment is still there. "We lost a year of our lives because of you" if directly related to covid conspiracy stuff spread by Trump and whatnot. But it also means that generalized vitriol is up as well. And for kids especially, seeing that stuff would make them think it's okay to behave that way.

Its kinda fucked up that they can hide behind that and get away with such a heinous crime.

Priority should be getting them and their ilk off the streets and in a cell.

They don't get away with it just because their identity remains hidden prior to the trial/ plea bargain phase.

What if they never get caught because even the most basic description is being withheld?

I still can't figure out what the slur is. I mean, the "ch*** ch****" one. I think I know the first one but I can't figure out what the second word is.

That's pretty rare, especially for these sorts of crimes.

Well from what ive read they still dont have them in custody and times ticking away. The faster they get caught, the better.

the second word is a plural. The first word isnt the one you are probably thinking of.

What kills me is that I personally, have never met a confrontational Asian before. Generally, most seem to try to mind their own business unless you engage with them directly. I can't name one time this hasn't been the case for me with my experiences with Asian Americans.
