An Asian American family was being harassed. Now their neighbors stand guard
LOS ANGELES — Every night, the neighbors converge on the Si family’s two-story home, which has large windows and an expansive porch adorned with columns.
Some sit in camping chairs in front of the driveway. Others keep watch from their cars or patrol the nearby parks.
The Sis moved to this upscale Ladera Ranch neighborhood a few months ago, with the country deep in the Covid-19 pandemic and hate crimes against Asian Americans on the rise.

To the editor: It is truly disturbing how so many Americans have emerged as outright racists. It is even more alarming that the racist terrorization of Haijun Si’s family in Ladera Ranch has been carried out largely by children and teenagers in the neighborhood.
Even if the pandemic is the fault of the Chinese government, why should the entire population of Asian Americans be taking the blame? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 8.5% of all essential healthcare workers and 16.2% of workers in the pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing sectors are Asian and Pacific Islanders, so will these haters reject a ventilator manufactured in Asia or administered by an Asian healthcare provider should the need arise?

It’s Wednesday, March 3. I’m Carol Cormaci on rotation with my colleagues, editor John Canalis and reporter Ben Brazil, to bring you the latest roundup of Orange County news and events.
One of the most disturbing side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is not physical but xenophobic. Too many Asians and Pacific Islanders have been taking the heat since early last year for the spread of the novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China.
A news article published last summer and written by our colleague Ahn Do details some of the 800-plus reported racist taunts (“You started the corona!”) that had been hurled against Asian Americans as of July. Eight months later such hatred still seethes unabated and violent attacks continue to be reported around the state and beyond. Last month, a man was beaten with a cane in Rosemead.

Let’s start with the good news. More vaccines are coming, and much faster than had been thought.
President Biden said Tuesday that the U.S. would have enough COVID-19 vaccines by the end of May to inoculate every American adult, two months earlier than previously expected.

As my D.C. colleague Chris Megerian reports, the announcement came as Biden administration officials warned that the decline in coronavirus cases appears to be stalling — a broader indication of the same plateauing of cases that Gov. Gavin Newsom warned about Monday in California.
