Dưới đây là bài viết của ca sĩ Trish Thùy Trang đang sinh sống ở Mỹ. Gần như Trish đã chia sẻ cảm xúc của mình một cách rất tự nhiên và kèm một bức ảnh. Nhưng ngay lập tức cộng đồng châu Á nói riêng, và tất cả mọi người nói chung đều rất sốc. Nguyên văn của bài viết bằng tiếng Anh, trong vòng 12h ca sĩ đã có gần 100 lượt bình luận:
I was raised in America since I was an infant but I never felt like I fit in. I wasn’t American enough and I certainly wasn’t Vietnamese enough but that’s a whole other story. I was bullied and made fun of growing up in predominately white America. I was called many racist names. It affected how I saw myself. I hated the way I looked, my eyes and a lot of other things about myself. As I got older I started to feel more comfortable in my own skin. I started to embrace my Asian eyes, my Asian straight eyebrows and Asian heritage.
But since last year I felt a change when I was out in public. Although I am proud to be Asian, I felt uneasy being Asian. People stared at me weird. I had a few instances when I was refused service. I am constantly on guard and even scared to cough in public. It makes me sad to see the constant blaming, scapegoating of others and hate in the world today. We need to come together, learn from another and embrace our differences. We are all human beings, beautiful in our own way and should treat each other with love and respect. Stop the hate.
