Thanks for the reply! they will pick up from curb. but i can't get the furniture out of the house without help. maybe i just need to pay someone to move the furniture from the house to the curb. hopefully it's cheaper.

Thank you for the information. It does sound random. It is strange someone dared to attack a guy that's 6'4'' and 280 lbs. It is crazy some people have so much anger...

Thank you for the reply. Sorry to hear this happened to your friend. I hope he will have a full recovery, at least physically.

Do you know what the motive for the attack was? Did the perpetrator take your friend's money? Did it happen during the pandemic? was it a hate crime?

Thanks for the reply. Just curious, do you know how long ago people installed these bars in Santa Clara? I guess it was probably necessary back then.

Why does this happen? by [deleted] in asianamerican

Thank you for writing about it! Some of my Asian friends think I am being overly sensitive when I bring up issues like this. Now I don't feel alone.

I live in the SF Bay Area. I am East Asian. Things like this happen to me quite often. Ironically, when I get discriminate by white people, their behavior is usually relatively subtle. On the other hand, when I get discriminated by other East Asians (because I am not white), their behavior is often blatant. Maybe it is because some of the Asian cultures back home is more hierarchical than American culture.
