Dr. John Park and his parents emigrated from Korea to America when he was in middle school. Today he’s a cardiologist in New York. Two weeks ago, a gunman shot his mother and two other women at a hair salon in Dallas. The shooter had been delusional about Asian Americans ever since he got into a car crash with an Asian man a few years ago, NPR reported. Dr. Park hasn’t felt safe ever since. He can’t take the subway and uses Uber instead. His wife hasn’t left the house, and now he wants to move somewhere else. “I am completely traumatized,” he says. He’s not alone: According to a new study from Pew Research, 90% of Asian Americans worry that they might be threatened or attacked because of their ethnicity. In the wake of a growing wave of hate crimes against Asian Americans, many have changed their daily routine and schedule out of fear of an attack. Many, like Dr. Park, also believe the issue receives far too little media attention.
