Jeremy Lin, who is currently with the Santa Cruz Warriors in the NBA’s G-League, wrote a lengthy Instagram post on the wave of anti-Asian American violence across the country.
“Something is changing in this pay generation of Asian Americans,” he wrote. “We’re tired of saying we don’t feel racism, we’re tired of keeping our heads down and not bothering. We’re tired of Asian American kids growing up and being asked where they really are, to make fun of our eyes, foreign As to object or say that we are inherently unnatural. “
Lynn says we are fed up of not experiencing racism, a reference to some of those involved in the social justice movement that portrays Asian Americans, as privileged people do not deserve the same protection given to other minority groups. In November 2020, a school district in Washington received national attention that Asian Americans would no longer be classified as “people of color” because of their level of educational achievement.
“We’re fed up with Hollywood’s Hollywood experiments that affect our psyche and limit what we think we can be.” “We are fed up with being invisible, mistaken for our colleagues or our struggles don’t seem so real. I wish better for my elders who worked hard and sacrificed so much to make their lives here. My niece and nephew And future kids. I want better for the next payday of Asian American athletes who just have to work hard to become a ‘fraudulent athlete’. “
Lynn and other Asian American athletes are often referred to as “black” or “sneaky” athletes in which they report conflicting reports from their black counterparts. In court he was called a “coronavirus” and his term ended.
“Being Asian American doesn’t mean we don’t experience poverty and racism,” he writes. “The 9-year-old NBA veteran doesn’t stop me from saying ‘coronavirus’ in court. Being a man of faith doesn’t mean I don’t fight for justice, for myself and for others.”
Lynn has appeared in five games for the Santa Cruz Warriors this season.
