Clip: 4/27/2021 | 3m 38sVideo has Closed Captions
The U.S. Senate recently passed a bill aimed at fighting the rise in anti-Asian hate.
Talk to most any Asian American or Pacific Islander and tell them that new statistics from the state police say anti-AAPI bias incidents are up 74% and they will say that's terrible, and probably – an underestimation. Casey Okamoto has seen bias incidents big and small almost daily in his 42 years. Rather than live in fear and apprehension, he feels emboldened by the moment
