MIRA MESA
The eyes of an employee at Go Go Sushi & Ramen in Mira Mesa filled with tears as she spoke to a San Diego police officer in Korean, telling the officer she has been called racial slurs on the job on several occasions.
Officer Sharon Jung told the woman that the San Diego Police Department is available to help and wants the public to report hate incidents and crimes against people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent.
Jung and other police officers delivered that message last week at several businesses in the busy shopping centers in Mira Mesa, a neighborhood with a large concentration of Asian-American residents and businesses. Officers also visited businesses in Linda Vista, the Convoy District in Kearny Mesa and City Heights in recent weeks.
