“#Asian-American widow gets racist letter lauding spouse’s death<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

An Asian-American California woman received a racist letter celebrating the recent death of her husband, a report said.<\/p>\n

The woman\u2019s daughter, Claudia Choi, called police Monday to report she feared for her 82-year-old mother\u2019s safety, after the widow received the threatening letter at her home in a Orange County retirement home, according to KTLA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that [your husband] is gone makes it one less Asian to put up with in Leisure World,\u201d the anonymous handwritten letter reportedly began.<\/p>\n

The letter went on to say that members of the retirement home were not \u201cresting well\u201d with Asian Americans living among them, before warning the elderly woman to \u201cwatch out\u201d and \u201cgo back to your country where you belong,\u201d the Los Angeles station reported.<\/p>\n

The menacing missive, which was post marked on the day of Byong Choi\u2019s funeral, \u201cdisturbed the family very much,\u201d Seal Beach police Lt. Nick Nicholas told the station. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe real essence of this is that the family felt scared. And if they feel scared, then it meets some of the elements for criminal threats,\u201d Nicholas said, as the department reportedly opened a hate crime probe into the threat. <\/p>\n

Choi told KTLA her parents were married for almost 57 years, and her her Korean-American dad enjoyed living at Leisure World.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loved his neighbors, and many of them have reached out to me saying how much they loved him too,\u201d Choi reportedly said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have somebody rejoice his death, threaten my mother, tell us to go back home \u2014 this is our home,\u201d she told the station. \u201cThey\u2019ve lived here longer than they\u2019ve lived anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a>, Leisure World denounced the hate and said it believed the suspect lives in the retirement home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis malicious and egregious act of hate speech threatens our core values of racial equity and social<\/a> justice,\u201d Leisure World wrote.<\/p>\n

Seal Beach Police Chief Philip Gonshak tied the incident to a sharp nationwide uptick in hate against Asian Americans amid the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross the county we are seeing more and more violence committed against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. We will not allow this to happ<\/a>en in Seal Beach,\u201d he said in a statement to KTLA.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Stop AAPI Hate Reporting Center reported 3,795 firsthand accounts of hate incidents nationwide from March 19, 2020, to Feb. 28. Forty-five percent of them occurred in California.<\/p>\n

The Asian-American community remains on edge since a lone gunman slaughtered six Asian woman during a massage parlor shooting spree that killed eight in metro-Atlanta last week.<\/p>\n

The massacre has not been categorized as a hate crime.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
