All I could tell the cops about the man who pushed her was that he was white. He had a mask and hat on, all I saw was his hand and his eyes, and that’s enough to tell that someone’s white but not much else. And you know what the cops told me? They said that’s not enough to go on. We can’t just look for white men. You should have looked harder, they said. But white men are going after Asian girls, and that’s all they have to go on, us being Asian. No one wants to look harder at us. To imagine that we’re real people.
