She is not used to public speaking and as Asians we are not comfortable or used to speaking about race at all but she is voicing out against this disgusting attack on her husband, and rightfully so. I support and appreciate your courage Evelyn.

[@williamkelly5689]

闭嘴

[@reptar4504]

So proud of her. I can only imagine how hard it's for her to speak so publicly about such a sensitive yet important topic.

[@monsenor5561]

Let’s be real. No other candidates who actually lived in NYC shorter than Andrew would ever get this level of disgusting blatant racist mocking and attacks as “tourist” with closed eyes. Just purely disgusting

[@williamkelly5689]

It's basically just a modern update of the word carpetbagger

[@troypropes1182]

That’s a strong Woman right there. Andrew is a lucky man for sure.

[@edwardmeisse4361]

I don't think that luck is the entire story though.

[@-imperatorinsomnia-6163]

She's literally crying about a cartoon

[@troypropes1182]

@@-imperatorinsomnia-6163 are you implying that Crying is somehow “weak”? True weakness is to deny the very Human emotions that come from seeing a racist and dehumanizing Cartoon in the public news. No one wants to be dehumanized and you shouldn’t want that either. Jesus wept, does that make him weak? You have shown yourself to be the truly weak one.

[@troypropes1182]

@Jim Stepp sadly, there will always be the ignorant ones, whose short sidedness is just a weak link in the chain of Humanity. Ignorance is truly a disease that only the sick can cure for themselves. In your case, it is ignorance of Empathy, History and lack of vision for a better future. Get well soon❤️

[@edwardmeisse4361]

@Jim Stepp Freedom of speech has to work both ways. The daily news is, in fact, free to attack her to a degree. Advocating violence, like shouting fire in a crowded theater, is not allowed. Freedom of speech does have some limit. She also is free to defend herself within those same limits. Your criticism of her doesn't hold water. You and I probably agree that non white groups seem overly sensitive about things such as this. I have a hard time seeing any offense in the cartoon. But I have also never been subjected to racial epithets, let alone physical assault, as I walked down the street minding my own business. There is an old saying, don't criticize someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes. The daily news people were insensitive in their printing of this cartoon.

[@MelBlossom]

I want to cry. I don't understand how good-hearted, how many American values someone needs to display, and how much love of our country someone has to show to not experience this kind of ignorance anymore. I'm so sorry Andrew, Evelyn, and everyone else hurt by this crap. I'm white and it hurts me deeply to see my copatriots treated like this. You both are examples of true Americans and New Yorkers and Evelyn your ability to get on the mic and speak your mind like that is as New York as you can get. I love you both and what you stand for so much. Stay strong. All Americans who love the country and its real values of everyone's right to thrive belong. Our true strength is our diversity bonded by a love for the country and every time any Americans are told they don't belong in their own country we are all weakened. I look forward to seeing your victory! Live in Love!

[@amybridges349]

NYC needs to elect Andrew Yang - Yang and his lovey and extraordinary wife and family are a major asset for our great City! Yang has such a big heart and he has a brilliant mind - along with an amazing background and a ton of hands-on experience in managing complex issues. NYC would be crazy to miss this opportunity to have him as mayor!!

[@zji4195]

The perpetual foreigner trope is disgusting

[@wisedup20]

She spoke so well. I love this couple, both of them. They are so much more real than your usual politician. And in addition Andrew is articulate, smart, young, tech savvy, and he thinks about all the issues and is overflowing with ideas. I hope a majority of New Yorkers see his tremendous merit. A Democrat with common sense!

[@lacomtessealice]

The publicing cartoon people are just a bunch of un-educated, ignorants who just focus on the skin deep looks versus the person's personality and values: Put a blondy blue eyes German to grow up in China and he would think, act like Chinese. To my upbringing in Europe (France), the Yang are pretty much typical Americans, so are many Latin-looking or African-looking citizens. Many Anglo-Amercian tourists thought Europeans who "looked" like them would relate to them more learned a hard lesson. We French think and act totally different from most of them, and that was where the culture shock came into! Don't just focus on looks! Most uneducated, country people in Asia or Europe focus on that same thing. It does told us something about the charactere of the people in that country doesn't it?!?

[@dolcevita5032]

I do think that the cartoon is racist. Just look at the big nose round eyes of “real” New Yorkers. Who do you think they are? They’re me. I’m voting for the man. I’m voting for someone who is whip smart young and clean, as yet uncorrupted by politics. I like his character and his energy. I will see you at 7 Brothers. I’ve been going there since it opened in 1990 when 49th & 9th was crack central and this past year those guys were the cornerstone of the neighborhood, always always there. I guess the Daily News would call them - what’s the word? Tourists.

[@discomon]

It’s funny because it’s wrong, take it with a pinch of salt! I’ve got Aspergers and when South Park made fun of it (when Cartman made ass-burgers) I laughed until i cried…but asian reporter Trisha Takanawa has no humour…

[@tenzinchoegyal9920]

I will vote for yang this just because he Asian but I don’t like playing race card as Asian immigrant lived many different country’s American 🇺🇸 is least racist country in the world 🌎 so top playing race card pleas w

[@telecake]

I don't think everything is racism, but I have a pretty good idea something is racist when I experienced or see it. I think many racialized people have that sense of ability. Sadly, this "cartoon" episode on Andrew Yang once again confirm to us that prejudice and racism against Asians is still seen as permissible in Western countries, including the USA. The editor and the cartoonist of that newspaper knew exactly what they're doing when they published that cartoon. It casually played on Asian's stereotype that we will never belong, that othering, that we don't deserve to be treated as equal or as normal human beings. Not all Asians are the same and all races should be treated equally.

[@maxgilmore3170]

If you are so worried about racism why do you support Israeli apartheid and ethnic cleansing? Palestinians are Asian too. Hypocrisy
