Speech 2021

Stop Asian Hate :Allan Zhao

1)Earlier this year, the Stop Asian Hate Movement was held in the USA due to the terrible Atlanta shooting case where 8 people were killed, and is believed to be an anti-Asian hate crime.

  Why would people hate Asians? Why would someone shoot someone else just because of their skin colour? Or is it just the Americans as always?

2)Ever since the pandemic started, certain media on the internet have already decided to spread rumours like “China created the virus”, and people seem to believe anything they see, and people do not like China.

3)Looking at the second half of 2020, the pandemic largely affected the world. People in the USA and more have suffered poverty and joblessness during the pandemic, but China on the other hand, have already recovered a lot from the virus, and almost everything is back to normal. Why is this important? MORE FAKE NEWS!

4)Back to the shooting case, a man ran into the metropolitan area of Atlanta and shot 8 people to death, and “coincidentally” 6 of those people happened to be Asian women. It sounds disgusting, but it is also somewhat understandable. Going back to 2020 again, Sir. Donald Trump repeated China Virus in front of hundreds of cameras as usual, and Mr. Long who did the shooting, lived on $200 benefits and sat in front of screens for at least half a year as usual, and even more sad, Mr. Long possibly isn’t the only one...

5)Everyday, Mr. Long, the shooter wakes up, just to find out that he is left with no more money. He had used all of his savings, just to find out that he has to skip three breakfasts today and he can’t go to work because of millions of COVID cases in America. Looking at his phone, he sees all these tweets on Twitter saying that China created the virus, so he lifted his gun and decided to kill people.

6)But is it only the Americans? No, there’s a lot more people that needs to go back to kindergarten and get re-educated because of how stupid, racist and rude they are. Ever since the pandemic started, Canada had a 717% increase in anti-Asian hate crimes, and in Australia, nearly ⅕ of Australian Chinese have experienced some sort of physical abuse or verbal abuse, well, kindergarten welcomes you.

7)But after all, none of these are what we want, no one wants a worldwide pandemic and lose their mother, no one wants to be shot just because their skin colour happened to be purple, no one wants to be blocked by 7000 people just because they accused the BBC for making fake news and I believe that every race should be respected.

   Thank you all for listening to my speech, don’t be racist, stay calm, drink some tea and be happy.
