Report a hate incident

It was around 5:00 pm on Sunday, Mother’s Day, when I entered Michaels Craft Store and noticed a man had entered after me. He did not follow me but I did see him while I was shopping. I bought what I needed and proceeded to leave the store. When I was waiting to cross into the parking lot, he then approached me — he was a man in his 30s and around 6’ tall. He began to shout, “YOU F*CKING CH*NK GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY!” I froze and was terrified and went to my car completely distraught and didn’t know what to do since I was alone. I am 17 years old and I am of mixed race: Japanese, Filipino, Mexican & Russian.
