A street procession condemning hate crimes against Asians took place in San Francisco, California, USA.
[Debbie Kim/San Francisco Protest Participant: My parents are arriving tomorrow, so I want to make sure they're there.
I can't let these 74-year-olds wander anywhere alone.]
35% of San Francisco's population is Asian and Chinese-Americans joined this protest, bringing the size to 3,000.
[What do we want?
(Justice!)] In
Los Angeles, New York, and other parts of the United States, these large and small protests have been held one after another over the weekend.
[Protesters against racism: We will not stand racism against the Asian American community.
People of all nationalities gathered here came to condemn racism.]
Beginning with Asians, blacks and Hispanics have participated.
Those who have been struggling in American society as a minority race are calling out to stop reckless hatred.
In the meantime, two shootings took place in a row in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, following Virginia in the United States, killing one and injuring eight.
The Philadelphia victim is known as an 11-year-old black boy riding a kickboard, and local police have yet to identify the suspect and motive.
