This was one of a number of unprovoked attacks on Asian people in the last few years that experts said stemmed from anti-Asian bias connected to the Covid-19 pandemic. The man who killed Guiying Ma was sentenced to 20 years in prison yesterday. https://t.co/SCQp3Lo5iZ

Twenty years for murder? What is this? Sweden? Oh, right. Asian lives aren't worth as much. https://t.co/L7Edv7QjjV
