Terrified that these threats will continue

The brother of my daughter’s husband has chosen to lash out a hate speech not only against us as a family but to my Asian heritage as a whole. I cannot help but feel threatened with statements of “Asians have no hope in survival here period. Us Americans will get you folks out of the way.” I worry mostly for the safety of my daughter. Statements like these are very harassing in nature and cannot be interpreted in any other way than a physical threat. If “Asians have no hope in survival here” and will be taken “out of the way“ by “Americans” - does this mean that we (all Asians) are being threatened to be KILLED? By whom? Is this also true if we Asians “do not go back” to our own countries even if we are American citizens? These are serious threats that need to be given serious attention. I am worried that these threats will continue. Terrified that these threats will be followed through. I cannot sit here idly and wait. I will seek the assistance of anyone that can insure the safety of my family. As for Asians in general, I feel it is important to spread these vile comments to my community for awareness.
