Otherization of AAPI Americans is not new.
But the motto of the United States is E Pluribus Unum: Out of many, one.
Asian-Americans are part of our country’s plurality.
We are some of the many, and we’re part of that one. #gapolpic.twitter.com/o2lzNb4iIy Dr. Michelle Au (@AuforGA) March 15, 2021
Georgia state Senator Michelle Au simply asked for recognition, protection, and support. On March 15, Dr. Au, who is the first Asian American woman to serve as a state senator in Georgia, addressed her fellow senators about the rise in anti-Asian violence and attacks on the AAPI community. Her comments came just one day before a man killed eight people, six of them Asian women, in a horrific series of shootings in Atlanta massage parlors. Dr. Au s words were a warning and a chilling reality of the hate AAPI individuals have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
