Black women denounce violence, stand in solidarity with Asian American communities

“We stand in solidarity with AAPI women and people. We denounce the racist, xenophobic violence that continues across the country. Make no mistake, white male supremacy is at the core of these latest attacks and all of the hate violence against Asian communities. As Black women, we know that our Asian-American sisters are disparately impacted at the intersections of racism, sexism and xenophobia.

The Case of the Quarantined Couple

The young Asian couple wished their cloth mask coverings could also hide their entire faces from the reporters waiting for them at the airport. Earlier that morning they had just been arrested for breaking their 14 day quarantine orders and at this late hour in the night, HPD and staff from the Department of the Attorney General's Office were escorting them out of the large van along with their luggage to be sent back home. What had been an appealing cheap air and hotel deal online to get away from the mainland and pandemic mania to vacation in the land of Aloha had quickly turned into a witch hunt played out on social media.

Henry Mao placed his arm securely around his girlfriend, Cindy Chou, as the two quickly followed the officer leading them into the check in area and avoiding questions and camera flashes from the reporters. Two burly officers kept reporters back from a secure social distance. Another officer, also wearing a mask followed the couple and handled their carry-on luggage.

It didn't take long to get checked in and be escorted through security check points to their gate. The whole airport was pretty much empty of travelers and all the shops and restaurants had been closed for several days. At this point only Officer Chun escorted the couple to their departure gate to make sure they boarded. He also held their phones. It was postings by the couple on Instagram during their trips outside their hotel that caught the attention of state officials and spread across social media faster than the virus everyone lived sheltered in fear of.

There was no one else on the flight back to their City and the fight crew gathered by the gate before going on board could easily be seen gossiping quietly and pointing at the couple. The news about them as fugitives had even been shared on mainland outlets. A few flight attendants even snuck out their phones and took "secret" pics of the couple to share online.

Henry and Cindy just sat silently and held hands. Henry had been furloughed from his job for about a month but had enough money saved with Cindy to visit Hawaii. In an ideal world without the pandemic he had hoped to travel with her to Hawaii to propose and months later return to the islands for their honeymoon They had already known that places and attractions were closed just like in their City, but maybe it was the appeal of challenging the 14 quarantine rule or just having a short getaway to paradise that made them want to come. Back in their home City, they knew about the shelter-in-place and going out for only essentials, yet they figured going out of the hotel to shop and eat and sneak-in whatever free sightseeing was available was still okay as long as they wore a mask and did the whole social distancing thing. Now they were returning short notice, wondering what family, friends, and coworkers (if they still had a job) would think of them now that their names and faces were revealed with news of their arrest. The hateful comments to them and about visitors flying into Hawaii continued to flood Facebook and Twitter. By leaving now, they agreed to avoid additional charges.

Officer Chun, a seasoned cop of over 20 years on the force and well over 30 years older than the couple, motioned to the couple's carry-on bags that it was time for them to start boarding. "I know you already gave your interviews to the A.G. with a lawyer present," Chun kindly said as he handed the couple their carry-ons and a Ziploc bag containing their smart phones. "But, I'm just curious. You said, you knew about other travelers being sent back home now, so why come here? You must have seen all the hateful comments by locals about tourists."

"It's not as bad as home," Henry said looking at Cindy.

"What do you mean? You're locals in your City," Chun replied with a look of surprised interest.

"Where we live," Cindy began to speak with a lilt of her native accent, "Others make xenophobic and racist comments towards us. They say, 'you chinks caused this virus' or yell at me, saying 'go back where you came from!'. My dad was harassed by some racist guy in a shop last week. People look at us and blame us for the pandemic like we're scapegoats." Her eyes glared with both pain and sadness.

"Even some of my coworkers were sharing memes making fun of Asians and news pictures of vandalism with racist comments." Henry added. "Things were cool in January but over the last two months, I can't go a day without someone eyeing me down on the street or making some passing comment at another Asian American. We always hear about Hawaii being a land of Aloha and I guess we really came at the wrong time, or maybe there is no aloha, as you call it. We just wanted a break from treatment we've been getting back home."

Chun felt like he had to argue back and defend Hawaii. Instead, he silently nodded as he motioned for the two to give the attendant their tickets to board. The couple slowly began their walk into the jet bridge and into an uncertain future. As he began to leave the gate, Chun turned around suddenly and called for the couple to stop. They froze and turned around to look at their escort cop as if they had done something else wrong. "You did come at a wrong time. " Chun said with a calm and respectful manner. "And the hate you got here is as bad as you have it in your City. And it's kinda worse than the coronavirus because it spreads faster…and it's not as open. But, for what it's worth, we really don't hate you for coming and I'm sorry for what you face on the mainland. Fear spreads like a virus and makes people do cruel things to others. Here, we just want to keep everyone safe at this time. We have a lot of your own problems here as well....and we need to work on it. When all this pandemic is over I hope we all learned to be better people. I'm sorry but I wish there was a vaccine against prejudice…well...have a safe flight."

Chun and the couple could only look silently at each other but knew by their eyes that for a brief moment, the whirlwind day of being harassed, hunted, arrested, processed, and packed-up, now ended with sincere thoughtfulness. The officer nodded for the two to move along but also raised his hand to them in a simple parting shakah sign just so they could at least look back to their trip with some positive memory. "Aloha," Chun added. The couple could see by his eyes that he was smiling behind his mask. The two young travelers returned the shakah pose back and smiled through their eyes.

As the couple continued their way down the jet bridge to board the plane, Cindy turned to Henry leaning her head into his shoulder. "I like what that officer said," she whispered. "Even if things are messed up in Hawaii and at home now, I believe things will work out."
