Support Builds for KPIX Reporter Targeted in YouTuber's Racist Remarks

[RandySF]

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) — KPIX reporter Betty Yu is speaking out after racist remarks about her were posted by conservative YouTube host Steven Crowder.

Crowder made the comments during a segment of his online show Wednesday. It began as an attack on the dispute between San Francisco health officials and In-N-Out burgers over a local COVID ordinance to check customers’ vaccination status.

“Oh, that is an aggressively Asian face,” Crowder exclaimed at one point, referring to Yu.

In an interview Thursday evening, KPIX reporter Andrea Nakano asked Yu if this incident was “another example of how prevalent racism is in the United States? Do you have hope that one day you’re not going to be looked at as an aggressive Asian face?”

“You know, it’s going to take a lot of time because — here we are in 2021 — and what’s triggering about that is what gave this guy the authority to decide what’s Americanized? That’s triggering and that’s racist. When I look back, what is most shocking to me is the casualness of racism. This kind of unbridled hatred and mockery. All of it.”
