More Love, Less Hate

More love, less hate.

Today is the National Day of Action to #stopasianhate.

In the last week since the Atlanta shooting, I have been engulfed in a flood of emotions and activities. My thoughts always came back to wondering what my father would think if he was still with us.

He would want to be seen as human. He would want to be treated with respect. He would want to be treated with dignity. And he would tell all of our Asian American Pacific Islander family to stand up and be proud of who you are and where you come from.

多爱,少恨。

 今天是制止仇恨的全国行动日。

 自亚特兰大枪击案发生以来的最近一周,我被大量的情感和活动所吞噬。 我的思绪总是在想,如果父亲仍在我们身边,他会怎么想。

 他希望被视为人类。 他希望得到尊重。 他希望得到有尊严的对待。 而且他会告诉我们所有的亚裔美国人太平洋岛民家庭,站起来,为自己的身份和出身而感到自豪。
