LAist - At a Trader Joe’s in Culver City last month, Jeff Yang stood in the checkout line six feet apart from the other customers, lost in his phone. That’s when an F-bomb came flying in his direction.

WHAT IF IT HAPPENS TO YOU
Aside from Stop AAPI Hate, Angelenos can also report incidents to the county’s 2-1-1 social services hotline.
Other advocacy organizations are also tracking hate incidents, including the Washington, D.C.-based Asian Americans Advancing Justice and The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund in New York. . .
