Jeannie Mai spoke out against racism after an elderly Asian man in San Francisco was attacked.
The viral video of an Asian man being attacked in San Francisco has gone viral .
According to police, the man was collecting recyclables in the city before he was robbed and attacked. Police are now investigating the incident as a hate crime.
It's reported there were security guards outside who witnessed just stood there.
The security company issued a statement about it, writing, "Our Investigation's Unit is currently investigating this matter," Daniel Francom, the president and CEO of that security company, Critical Intervention Patrol, said. "While this investigation is underway, it would be premature and unfair to make any statements at this time. We assure you and the community that once our investigation is completed, we will give further details with transparency regarding this incident."
“The Real” co-host Jeannie Mai (who has a Vietnamese mother and a Chinese father) was pissed after seeing the video and aired out her frustrations on a recent episode of the daytime talk show.
”I’m not talking about racism against Asians. This is racism…period,” she said during the show. “This is minorities against minorities. We all know what it’s like to struggle living in our skin, why are we doing this to each other? Racism is not going to end racism,” she said.
Jeannie encouraged people to talk to their friends from all races about racism.
Sheasked viewers to send her any information they have about the attack, so she could get the ball rolling on an investigation against the people who attacked the man.
Hours after putting her post, she wrote on IG Stories to announce the victim had been found.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced a Community Unity and Healing rally that will go down on the same street the man was attacked:

Racially charged attack on elderly Asian man.This Asian man was just trying to make ends meet for his family by collecting cans. Then he got attacked, he didn’t deserve this. this is ignorant, inhumane, & disgusting.
