Report a hate incident

Constantly coughed at by neighbors

This has been ongoing since March 2023 when I first moved in. The head janitor of the building was the one that started coughing near my house. It was as if he started a hate trend because many residents started to follow soon after. How did they even know where I live? It feels like harassment of the "Asian" lives here, even though I’m mixed race and ethnically ambiguous.

Multiple residents that work in the military, go to university, work doing deliveries, etc, have been harassing me by walking by my house and coughing loudly. They are so full of hate. That also includes the previous landlord that accused me of slander, even though I have video evidence. He later quit and transferred from what I was told. Even other Asians following the hateful trend. I feel that they just copy to try to fit in, even though they themselves are hated. I’m constantly harassed by an ugly bald male in his 60s. He looks like he works as a lawyer, which is the scary part. He stops by my house constantly and coughs and gives hateful stares a lot of times at my door camera.


Now the new landlord knows about the incidents, but I’ve also heard other residents say that the building workers are watching out for the Chinese woman. If they’re talking about me, I’m mixed race and Iʻm not Chinese. I find it sad that the US is still backwards, even when itʻs "diverse,” as it still thinks everyone is of one race.
