ASIAN MEN BEWARE: It’s a good thing the Asian American Journalists Association Convention @aaja won’t be in New Orleans this year. @thor_benson and some of his followers are going after Asian guys who look like @MrAndyNgo
But they got the wrong Asian. 😂 #StopAsianHate #AAJA

INCREDIBLY TROUBLING: Extremists continue to target @MrAndyNgo for his reporting. But if you’re gonna racially profile someone, please get it right. @thor_benson got the wrong Asian. 😂👇🏽 #StopAsianHate #WrongAsian

NEVER MET HIM: I don’t know @thor_benson or any of his followers who are targeting @MrAndyNgo
But I’m calling on all communities to condemn violence or harassment against journalists, especially Asian men. @CorinneIOZO @TracyConnor @AAJA #StopAsianHate

HE KILLED THE CONVO: I DM’d @thor_benson but he blocked me. So my question is, why are you racially profiling Asian American men? You got the wrong @MrAndyNgo #WrongAsian #StopAsianHate @AAJAmales @aaja

SMALL FRATERNITY: Turn on your tv sets tonight. Or read the byline in your local paper. How many Asian male names do you see? So when @thor_benson or anyone else goes after @MrAndyNgo because of his race or ethnicity, it’s an attack on all of us. @aaja @aajamales #StopAsianHate

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR: It goes without saying. @thor_benson is allowed to express his opinion and is entitled to freedom of speech in America. No one should be threatening him or harassing him either if they disagree with his take. I’m condemning that as well. #StopAsianHate
