More unprovoked, targeted hate
On April 19 at around 10:30pm, I was on the Boston T Orange line. At the Chinatown stop, a man got onto the train along with a middle-aged Asian woman (I was already on the train, and by then there were around 7-10 people on the train). The Asian woman sat a few seats next to me, and the man saw her first and either attempted to kick or fake-kicked her while saying, "Get outta here," very aggressively. He took another step, saw me and did the same to me. He took two more steps and looked like he wanted to turn around and perform the same action again. But then two other men sitting in the next row of seats gave him a stern "Hey,” and then the man continued to move forward and did not re-approach us.
One stop later, the man got off the same stop as me and when he got off, he kept looking around, and I had to very consciously avoid his line of sight in fear of him re-attacking. Thankfully he did not turn around and kept going in a different direction than where I was going.
