Asian-Americans are going back and forth with Instagram On a February evening, a 50-year-old Asian woman was waiting in line at a bakery in Queens, New York, when a man threw a spoonful at her and then pushed her so violently that she was 10 points on the head. In a surveillance video, a crowd sees a man attacking a woman, doing nothing when he hits her, and then walks away. “When I saw that, I thought, ‘That could be my mother. That could be my grandmother. It could be someone I knew,'” says Teresa Ting, a Flushing neighbor in the neighborhood where the attack took place.
