TORONTO People are changing their profile pictures on social media to honour a San Francisco senior who died after being shoved to the ground in what his family alleges was a racially-motivated attack. Vicha Ratanapakdee, 84, died on Jan. 31 at San Francisco General Hospital “from injuries sustained while on his morning walk in the Anza Vista neighbourhood” a few days earlier, according to the GoFundMe organized by family member Eric Lawson. Lawson describes Ratanapakdee as originally from Thailand, and a “nearly blind, gentle person, beloved by his family,” who was “violently taken from them.” “Our family has endured multiple verbal anti-Asian attacks since the beginning of the pandemic.this time it was fatal. Racism has once again proven deadly. Anti-Asian racism has become a very serious danger to all Asian Americans, particularly in San Francisco,” Lawson wrote.
