Police are investigating a verbal and racial attack that was caught on video at a popular Orange County shopping plaza, and the woman in the video believes she was targeted because she asked a man to keep his social distance.

The 30-year-old Irvine mom says she’s actually not surprised this happened to her. She says she has seen so many other incidents of Asians being unfairly targeted since the start of the pandemic that she anticipated it could happen to her one day. And that's why, she says, she’s speaking out.

"I’m kind of emotionally prepared for this kind of situation," Hanna Li said.

Late Sunday morning, Li found herself on the receiving end of racist abuse, so she began recording.

Li says the man in the gray jeep told her to go back to China, with the video catching the end of that exchange. But the man can be heard calling her a racial slur.

1. Also disturbing

is his deliberate advance on the woman, ordering her to get in her car. It’s not hard to imagine what would happened if she stayed outside her car, and I don’t believe he would have merely opened her car door politely.

3. yeah..it's not just what he said. he blocked her car, got out and told her to get in her car

4. I didn't catch the part where he'd blocked her car

I hope his comeuppance is nigh.

2. Hanna Li? Isn't that where Puff The Magic Dragon lived?

Fuck the racists. The USA is a melting pot of cultures and races and is better for it.
People are blending as they marry and reproduce children with mixed heritages. Great!
Racism is quite possibly the stupidest, lowest form of discrimination. (along with sexism)

5. My next door neighbor told me she hears at least once a month the slur of China virus and

For her to go back to China. She was born in New York.

6. Amazing how much racism there is right under the surface

7. Yes it is so scary

I am a light skinned black woman who can pass for white. I have actually seen someone realize what I am and change their attitude towards and become dismissive of me when they weren’t before. And it’s people who are on a lower socio economic level than me who are the worst.
