During an otherwise innocent morning commute, I was walking from my house to the nearest metro stop. As I made my way onto a sidewalk near the station, a tall white guy approached me, a small Asian guy dressed in full suit and tie for work. No matter which way I wanted to go, he deliberately block my path forward. He then stared me down and repeatedly asked me where I was from.
Shocked, my mind paralyzed for a few seconds as my eyes could only be fixated on his threatening eye gaze. I then said "Please...I am just going to the metro stop," hoping he would just let me go. Not only did he not go, he further threatened that he would punch my nose and put me in a coma if I walked into him, and that he had done exactly that to someone a day before. I then immediately ran to the metro station and reported the incident to station guards.

Neighbors saying things like "Chinese motherf*cker" and "go eat an egg roll" and in general being territorial and rude and aggressive, constantly giving a hard time
After a parade, my significant other, friend and I were walking back to a friend's house after getting pizza. While we were enjoying our pizza, a woman yells at us. She said, "You're trash. Go back to where you came from." My SO tells her that he is from Seattle. She approaches him and gets closer and then headbutts him.

My friend and I - both Chinese American - visited Chicago for Spring Break this past year. Upon the first night of arrival, we decided to walk around and soak in the city. As we were walking along the street, a white man sitting on the steps shouted after us, saying and almost singing, "Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, you're all I see..." to which my friend and I tried to ignore. However, the man continued to sing after us and even followed us for a few blocks making remarks about us and calling us racial slurs and epithets. After a few blocks, he gave up, but the incident left us feeling very uncomfortable and unsafe. The blatant fetishization that was directed at us was really disturbing.
I was walking through the mall as a middle aged man wearing business clothes was coming walking in the other direction. He was walking in an odd way so I believe he could have been intoxicated or mentally disabled. When we passed one another he suddenly leaned in towards my face and yelled at me, "Die, you f*cking Chink!" and then kept walking.

Not sure of exact date, but occurred prior to 2016 presidential election. Elder Caucasian female went to purchase lottery scratcher tickets in a machine. Placed in $20 bill but the machine did not give change (stated on the machine). She was upset and stated never come in here again. Asian clerk stated people ask for change. The Caucasian female stated "you people don't give change, Go Trump!" and left the store.
This incident occurred September, 2016.
While I was in my car waiting at a red light, 3 men in a car pulled up next to me and with windows rolled down, arms hanging out, and spoke loudly to each other, "Aren't you tired of all these gooks" and "I'm so sick of these chinks" etc. My window was rolled up the entire time but this continued until the light turned green. I am an Asian woman and was alone in my car.
This incident occurred July 2016:
After dinner, I was standing on the street trying to hail a cab. A group of two white men and three white women ran ahead of me and as I was trying to get into the cab, one of the men knocked me away from the door. In a Southern accent, he shouted at me to go back to squatting on the street with my pajamas "back where I came from". I struggled to hold on to the door and keep upright, at which point he called me a slant-eyed chink and grabbed both my arms and started shaking me. I fought to get free and finally managed to get inside the car and close the door against him. His companions were laughing.
I work for an Asian organization that works mainly with the Asian community in Georgia. When I stated this, a person said "So, if I have a thick accent and put tape over my eyes, you guys can help me?"
I'd like to alert you to the fact that on Monday, May 1 I encountered a hate crime. I live in Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco, California. On that day, when my mom and I were on our way home from a walk to the Golden Gate Park with my two kids: 22-month-old and 5-month-old on Stanyan and Page Street, a white man in his 40s or 50s followed us and yelled at us very loudly and angrily: "Get out of the country! Speak English!" He yelled at us all the way to our home with words of discrimination. I was trying to take out my cell phone when I was outside on my porch , but he was watching me and threatened me if I dare take out my cell phone he would do something. He further threatened to hurt us. During the whole time, we didn't say anything, but at the beginning of his yelling, he shouted "Did you yell at me? " He pretended that we yelled at him first. After I got my family safe inside and called the police , the police came and interviewed me. This is a vicious and planned hate crime. I'm worried about my family's safety. If he can threaten the safety of two women and two little babies, then what else can he not do? I am from China. This is a real threat to Chinese immigrants, Asian immigrants.
Several fliers appeared on the University of Texas at Austin campus advertising an ethics course for Chinese students. The faux course was clearly meant to degrade Chinese students as it accused them of plagiarism, forgery, misinformation, and public indecency. It is unknown if this "course" will actually take place, or if the fliers were simply posted as a cruel joke.
As of April 3rd, the University of Texas at Austin has yet to respond to this.
