Rep. Lee Wong said he needed to get it off his chest, by literally baring his chest. After multiple incidents of racism, the U.S. Army veteran stood up and revealed his military scars during a Board of Trustees meeting in West Chester, Ohio.

Please stop all the hate against race ,religion and sexuality !I applaud this man for his courage to do what he did and speak out !

[@julianacantu6237]

Truth hurts, it's hard to swallow but best believe that message was a needed moment in history I hope everyone gets to see and take this to heart.

[@lisamcdonald7828]

Its a shame he faces what he faces. He is the type of veteran that makes me proud to be one also. Its also a shame that it also goes on somewhat in the Veteran community. We all served the same nation and constitution.

[@tommeyer6788]

Every right to 😡 be pissed off 😤

[@addyyang5691]

Mr. Wong has spoken the truth 1. “I have a dream that our little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” 2. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed - we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” Quote By - "Martin Luther King jr."

[@thepatriotpaladin1727]

We need more men like Lee Wong in civil service to this country I am proud to have served in the same Army

[@bethwilking6573]

Omg that is terrible. Thank you so much

[@dennisjones1381]

Thank you for your service, It seems like when something happens in this country like 911 everybody comes together, then after a year or two they go back to the hate of someone's skin color.

[@kl9518]

I'm proud to be Asian. Fighting and suffering for American, then be abused and rejected by Americans. Still stand proud to serve wherever he is.👏 Can an American to that in another country?

[@AutofxwaAu]

I very proud of this guy

[@samuelknair1888]

I am asian too and this touched me ( that women at the side looks like she was about to cry )

[@sofianakharkongor2077]

We are same in front of God. No one is superior or inferior. We are all same.

[@arnavy67]

What did he show? What happened to him?

[@jeff022889]

In my opinion Mr. Wong looks very American. We live in a multi culture country that has the potential for greatness. we need to ditch all this talk about racism and treat ALL Americans with dignity. My neighbors decent from all over the world, Indian next door, AA on the other side, Chinese family across the street and many more. We are all Americans and get along great. Our little street is absolutely AWSOME. I wish the rest of the country could start treating people who don't look like them with respect and dignity. Our problem would be solved. the only problem would be ratings for NBC, CNN, ABC and the rest of the media. We have let FAKE NEWS lead us into a really bad place.

[@Calisaber1]

I wish this dude was my neighbor

[@enginepy]

That bothers me. I live in a place that is t exactly known for being tolerant or diverse. But I ha e never seen anyone ever say anything against Asians. There is a lot of animosity towards China as a country. But never the people here. It’s unfortunate that these folks go through that.

There are 75 million people in America who dont think Jan 6th was a terrorist attack.

[@klytus8339]

So now you know what black people have gone through, and you may want to start with your own people not to discriminate against other minorities especially as a consumer in your store. America has always been based on English black white and Native indigenous

[@colinmcdonell5034]

Thank you for your service. I don't think people hate Asians. It's the China CCP army but people paint everyone under the same brush unfortunately

More Americans love him genuinely than more Chinese would love a white man or a black man living in China unconditionally.

I assume he came in the right way Leagally

[@GobindaDotel]

Did Christopher Columbus Came Legally? I believe Christopher Columbus, anyone with him and after him are not American right? In fact all immigrants. For me True American are Native Americans. So think about it... Is your generation native?

[@DrVonNostrand]

Shirley you are a clown blinded by hate

[@farhadkabir6877]

Did your ancestors came here legally? Or they came by boat like many others

[@tazzeltazzel2925]

Now this is funny

[@georgeseckman8648]

It is one thing to serve your country but what the problem is a lot of you forget who paid you while you were in service to our country and the other thing is are you uncorruptable that is the question sir not if your patriotism was enough..

[@justintimeleave1360]

Get over yourself

[@georgeseckman8648]

@@justintimeleave1360 you're not very bright are you...

[@GobindaDotel]

Wow... Question about his battle scars. II believe Christopher Columbus, anyone with him and after him are not American right? In fact all immigrants. For me True American are Native Americans. So think about it... Is your generation native? Where did they come from Spain? Are they Native American whom America calls Indian now... Apache.. Are you if not $hame

[@georgeseckman8648]

@@GobindaDotel your kinda stupid too aren't you...what do scars or military service have to do with anything when these people are seeking a position in power ?? Always question authority and someone seeking power you may very well be the one that suffers by putting the wrong person in power the question these people need to be asked is if they believe in God are humble and uncorruptable are willing to stand by the bill of rights and the constitution the indians found out for themselves what happens when you make deals with the government that is not trustworthy or uncorrupt i bet many of those back then had a few military scars to show off too ...i have many scars to show off from working my butt off to pay for his military service besides the fact that he probably got them over in a country where the United States has no business being to begin with or are you one of the really ignorant ones that think the government has its own money....

[@justintimeleave1360]

@@georgeseckman8648 you are the one going off topic here. He has been a receiving comments about his appearance for not looking american and not the "uncorruptabilty" you are suggesting. So your assumption was wrong to begin with. Those weren't the issues about his eligibilty given to him to begin with. It is a board membership of a township, not keys to a nuclear submarine. So once again, get over yourself.
