#AsianAmericans #TeamUSA #Olympics
Nearly 97% of US population are immigrants…. Only about 3% or less than that are Red-Indians which are the original people of 🇺🇸 USA
I am of Asian origin and class
My filipino maid should be in the Olympians, she cleans my home so fast!
Hey NBC what happen to just celebrating Asian Americans in the Olympics. Why not show all Asian Americans like Suni Lee. We need to stop being weak. I don’t understand this whole bring awareness of racism. Are well just walking in this world blind. Asian people have been attack for a long time if y’all haven’t been paying attention.
NBC spreader of Sinophobia is the reason for anti-asian hate.
🇺🇸 usa 🇺🇸 ♥
Morons are everywhere
I guess people who such things are either politicians or ignorant. Good luck and win the olympics don’t let it distract you. You are more American than anyone else just win it for America.
Let the haters hate. We love the USA team diversity makes us stronger. 🇺🇸 people can't believe women from other countries come here, become independent. successful and USA citizens. We will standout and will continue to love and move on in life and honor those who love and care about us! Every other individual is irrelevant. Repell the haters and don't waste your emotions or energy cuz they will never learn. Can't fix stupid and ignorant people. Let's keep on achieving and living!! Much love to all the USA athletes! I cried during the opening ceremony. So happy and proud to see the USA team!! 💘💜â¤
I don't think 'friends' are people who make racist jokes. My family is Japanese-American, and I am the last survivor of extensive hate crimes in PA & NY. And, yeah, I attended an International Trade Summit to represent the USA and 'show face' for my Japanese family since I'm first generation American. The USA has made its statement against us for decades. It didn't go over too well.
The Olympics are supposed to bring the world together. Yet here in the US, we're focused on dividing the athletes of our own country. I myself am Asian American, but please stop promoting racism and division. Why can't we hear about their experiences as American athletes? Why can't you see past race? Why must you spread your racism?
Should not blame one ethnic group for a pandemic. Disease can happen anywhere

Can thank 45 for the hate and lies he promulgated. And the media to echo them in their coverage.
asian > white > hispanic > arab > black
America why can't you just not be racist?
US Covid deaths 624,943 New Zealand 26. US has 24,036 times more Covid deaths than New Zealand.
11 months since New Zealand's last Covid death, watching American media is like stepping back in time.
America: Stop looking in the mirror for answers and start following countries that lead the world in pandemic management.
Americans spoiling the Olympics for those countries that took the pandemic seriously.
Amazing ðŸ‘ÂAmazing 👠keep up the good work and thank you for representing the USA. Im mixed with Chinese as well so I can understand what you guys are going through. Never let anyone break your dream and your goals I'm very proud of all you guys. Keep up thw Amazing work 💪.
India virus
yeah RIGHT the Olympic Games are supposed to bring people and cultures? By PUSHING your culture and YOUR ethnocentricity? It's ALL about ENDORSEMENTS after if you win. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
There's good and bad fruits everywhere give me a break… how come you don't report Hate in Asia on CaucAsians, etc.
THE MERCENARY STARRING A FORMER 2 REP SNIPER NOW ON PRIME BRUTAL ACTION
