THIS IS ASIAN HATE: It's unclear when encounter in #Seattle's Capitol Hill happened, but vid was posted recently. Asian Americans continue to be subjected to this behavior. It's just NOT being reported. ANGRY woman pretty much lists every stereotype and insult. #StopAsianHate

INTERNET WILL FIND HER: Hey at least she’s a #Raiders fan. I love Bo Jackson and I’m trying to get Davante Adams in a trade for my fantasy football team. 😂🤡🙃 #Seattle #StopAsianHate

WILL MAYOR REGRET DECISION? Back in October, reports emerged about @MayorofSeattle cutting city's anti-Asian hate budget by 50%. But incidents keep happening. Some now asking, "What has Mayor really done for Asian Americans so far?" Good question. #Seattle

WAY BACK MACHINE: When @MayorofSeattle announced he was running for #Seattle Mayor, I was only reporter at presser to ask about rise of Asian hate crimes. This is what candidate Bruce Harrell said at the time. He's half Japanese and Black.

NATIONAL ATTENTION: Largest minority group in #Seattle remains Asian Americans. But due to lack of mobilization(and apathy at times)this group continues to be marginalized by the "model minority myth." And critics say, their safety is not a priority.

WHO'S SPEAKING UP? Are #Seattle's Asian American's going to step up and condemn this? Will they demand action against this racist woman? Will @SeattleCouncil @kcexec @CMTammyMorales @KCCouncil speak against this like they have on behalf of other groups?

STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT LED UP TO THIS ENCOUNTER: Need to find this Asian American woman who was subjected to this racist rant. #Seattle
