He didn't say anything.

He just did it mhm And nobody.

Nobody came.

Nobody helped me.

When I left the train, I thought I wouldn't make it.

Noel Quintana's case in New York is just one of almost 4000 anti Asian hate incidents reported in the US over the past year In cities like San Francisco.

A large Asian American population hasn't stopped the harassment, either.

I noticed a young gentleman who wasn't wearing his Macs, so I walked a little faster.

Once he got with an air shot, I asked him just for the safety of my infants to please wear mask.

At that point, he locked eyes with me and charged us.

He decided to walk straight at us.

Um, I let out a few choice words and ran into the house screaming for my husband, who came running down the stairs and scared him away.

The young man came back at least three times to throw things into our foyer, um, and leave not only racist this note but racist mask that he wrote on, You don't want to reveal your identity.

Why is that?

I can't endanger my young infants.

They've already been before the age of one, subjected to hate crime.

I'm not going to give anybody else another chance to do that to them again.

We keep updating.

I think the outrage that you're seeing from the Asian American community has a lot to do with feeling invisible.

Um, having a lot to do with our issues, Not getting attention and recognition and resources.

Um, and it has to do with the model minority myths that, um, really was manufactured to deny structural racism.

We have already been seeing a lot of news that there's people getting beat down Rob in Chinatown, and we were just really it really hurt to see that, you know, we would really hurt.

And we just thought, you know, we need to start doing something.

We need to go out to the community and patrol.

Do you see your role as defending Chinatown from these attacks?

Uh, we see our role is preventing and also as reporting as well.

So we do a lot of, uh, observing, recording and reporting.

Those are three main task.

We don't actually get into physical fights with anybody.

This is our weapon right here.

Hey, excuse me.

This is our weapon.

But this community doesn't always report crimes, and activists fear that the actual number is far worse.

We have members of our community who don't speak English as their primary language or they're undocumented.

Or they might have this sense of, you know what can what can be done about it.

And so there's a deep distrust in its for legitimate reasons.
