Hi, I don’t like talking about personal stuff here, but in light of anti-Asian violence in my native ATL, I want to share my experience of being assaulted by a group of strangers a block from my NYC apt in 2018, to shed light on how real anti-Asian hate is and always has been.

It’s not the attack but the apathy that still haunts me. Trauma transforms you. You become someone that bad things happen to, you lose faith anyone will care. Once you realize you’re not safe in the world while being who you are, the sense of danger never ends.

I'm privileged to have access to a lot of support but I'm still getting past the trauma of knowing that we still have to remind people that anti-Asian racism exists. The fear I & so many others feel every day should be proof enough.

I hope awareness of anti asian racism continues. I’ve found it my calling to write soulful Asian characters, partly to make it that much harder to dismiss or ignore real Asians' dreams and concerns. And fighting anti Asian hate is inextricably linked to BLM, never at odds.

While AAPI are often labeled “hardworking” or “rule-abiding,” that’s paired with a denial of a fully rounded soul. This affects us in big ways (violence, apathy) and subtler ways (being told “no one’s attracted to Asian guys” or “I didn’t expect you to be funny/creative/etc”)

Once I confirmed my face was intact, I chuckled too. My whole life resigned me to accept as a given that there are no consequences when harm befalls Asians, that people will even find it funny. I’ve always felt this especially as an Asian man (let alone gay Asian man).

Even as I was screaming for help on the outside, my mind was strangely at peace. I thought of my six-month-old nephew, my mom, my dead grandmother who made my life possible by escaping North Korea, my friends, the home I’d grown up in, teachers, the book I was trying to finish.

At 3am the police wouldn't drive me the 6 blocks home. I said “no problem” & walked past the spot where I’d been attacked. In weeks after, I was very complimentary a/b the NYPD, not bc they’d done good work but bc I held onto the belief that if I was pleasant, they’d do more.

I went into the station and waited for hours, calling everyone sir, apologizing for taking their time for a case so minor. The detective I finally spoke to had a map of Europe taped to his cubicle, where countries were labeled things like “Smelly People” instead of their names.

In the years since, I’ve never once walked outside without thinking about the incident. Before the pandemic, I tried to WFH as often as possible. I canceled plans to avoid walking at night. When I’m out alone, I often break into a run. I think of moving every day.

Obviously that wasn’t the case - nothing was done. I’m extremely lucky that my wounds healed completely within a few weeks, when other recent AAPI victims have died, suffered grievous injury, or lost their livelihoods. But even in my situation, consequences remain.

When they were gone, my first instinct was to jump to my feet and smile, show I was ok, even though I wasn’t sure if I had a headwound or something. Unlike the almost spiritual feeling I had while being attacked, the immediate emotions that followed were shame and embarrassment.

The officers I talked to tried hard to convince me that what happened was not assault but theft, even as they took photos of my swollen face, bloody/blackened eyes, and bruises on my shoulders and ribs. They finally reported it as robbery.

Everything that happened after confirmed those beliefs. I walked into a condo lobby & put on my most gracious face (it was bleeding) to ask them to call the police. The doorman refused. I said “no problem," ran home & used my laptop to FT a friend, who called the police for me.

This daily anxiety became normal to me, not something worth talking about or explaining, until I started having major panic attacks in March 2020, right before the pandemic. Since then, I’ve had space to unpack the trauma.

No one on that crowded block did anything to help. In fact, the group of witnesses closest to me actually laughed and said, “Yo, you dropped your food, don’t you want your food?” pointing at the bag of leftovers I’d been carrying that was now scattered over the sidewalk.

Around 9pm on May 25, 2018, after spending time w friends, I got off at my subway stop. Bc it was a holiday weekend, the block was especially crowded, and I didn’t see the first blow to the head coming. It was forceful enough to knock me out of my shoes and onto the ground.

The thing about a hit you don’t see coming is you’re convinced you’re being murdered. As far as I knew, that first fist was a steel pipe. While I was balled up on the ground, I had no doubt I was being killed and there was nothing I could do about it.

This was a DREAM interview. Such a rare thing: I got to say everything I wanted, and an incredible journalist synthesized the ideas & made them clearer than they were in my own head. THANK YOU to @Claire_ifying & @TeenVogue for this opportunity to talk about K-POP REVOLUTION!

Brand new haul from @Bookshop_org ! I've read and LOVED these already, but having the physical, finished books makes me happy and it's so important to support all authors and indie bookstores right now. @kileyreid @jesskimwrites @brownbookworm @lxgino @DeborahWiles101 #keepreading

I fucking love the print edition of Entertainment Weekly. As a kid, it was my bible. As one of its editors, it made me smarter. As a subscriber, it brought me so much joy. Gutted that it's gone and that so many of my brilliant former colleagues are out of jobs.

From a 2020 YA debut to 2021 debuts: I sincerely hope your debut is as great as you deserve and always imagined. But even if it isn’t, it’ll be ok!
