I don't wanna worry anymore

Let me begin with saying that I am truly sorry for anyone that has been bullied or harassed because of the way that they look or because of the country that they come from. I know the pain and sorrow myself so I can actually relate a lot. Now let's go back to the topic. I don't know if any of you guys know about how much asian people have been going through the past decades in wester countries. From having to hear songs that are mocking the way that their eyes look, to be bullied just because you are the only asian in a group of white people. The sad thing is that many people are so used by these songs and the mocking that they find these harassments okay. Yellowface has even been used in TV and yet no one has bought up how asians are literally being dragged down because of their LOOKS. I mean just search up "cloud atlas yellow face" and look at the pictures. What were the people that made the movie thinking?! Like there are literally thousands of available asian actors that they could've hired but still they chose to put on makeup on their American actors to make them look korean. They didn't even end up looking like korean people at all! I am just so done because of some people thinking that it's okay to do the things that they do to asian people. Plus this topic is mostly known by asians and not too many people talk about it. Now in the beginning of the year, just when the coronavirus outbreak started, people and students had the audacity to harass and bully asians EVEN MORE. Many asians have been hit, abused and even killed by people because of their RACE. Me and my sister couldn't even go to the subway or buy a carton of milk without having to hear other teens AND ADULTS pointing at us and screaming "Corona virus check" or saying things like "They might be deceased, let's move away from them". This happened time after time after time like it didn't stop. Yet these assaults never really got known to many people. It was only us asians that knew about the pain that many of us went through. Then black lives matter occurred. (I just wanna add that the ones protesting are literal heroes and be careful please). People were and are still protesting in order to honor the black people that died because of police brutality and not only because of police brutality but also just because they were black. My heart ached for the ones that had fallen on account of the harassments, discriminations, assaults and allegations that in some cases weren't even true. I am happy that people stood up for what is right and I am happy that people are fighting to do what is right. But I just wonder... Why couldn't anyone do the same thing for us asians? Many of us have been through the same thing and in the beginning of the year all of those things were fine and no one talked about the harassments and bullying that we got. This 16 year old boy got attacked by a couple other students just because he was asian. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-bullies-attack-asian-teen-los-angeles-accusing-him-of-having-coronavirus/ In Canada three asian women got attacked, kicked, punched and assaulted. https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3084090/coronavirus-asian-women-canada-are-abused-punched Oh and let's not forget Trumps infamous "Chinese Virus". There's sooo much more things that has happened and these three that I mentioned above was only the first two or three months of this year. Imagine what has happened the past decades then. Asians have been murdered, killed, abused and hurt time after time. I just wanna stop worrying. I wanna stop worry about my sister being called "You fu***** Chinese" when she's in school. I wanna stop worry about people staring disgustingly at me and my sister and moving away from us just because we are asian. I wanna stop worry about my sister being bullied in school just because she IS ASIAN. Oh and in the future... I don't wanna worry about my child being bullied just because she is asian. Just because she has her beautiful looking eyes. Just because she has a race that I am proud to have. Please I just wanna stop worry.
