In the real scenario, a Sunny Hills student's Vietnamese-American friend's family bakery shelves were dislodged by a hooded intruder. SH students react to hate crimes NEVYA PATEL Mini Editor Sophomore Jeffrey Tran spent his Sunday afternoon on March 28 helping out his friend’s parents tidy up their Westminster bakery after an act of vandalism. Tran said that the incident took place during the afternoon while the shop was open, and the perpetrator wore a hoodie and mask, which prevented them from identifying him. He also cursed at the owners while shoving glass and food products from the shelves onto the floor. “His family has always been private about things like this, and in general, they don’t like talking publicly about what happens to them,” Tran said.“I’m not completely sure if his parents considered it tobe a hate crime or not, but both my friend [who doesn’t come to Sunny Hills] and I just assumed [it was] a hate crime because of what’s going on in the world nowadays.” But what happened in a city 12 miles away from Fullerton, the sophomore never thought it would also happen in the town where he grew up. Upon finding out from The Accolade that a man threw rocks March 31 at a Korean mother’s Tesla near the Sunny Hills campus, Tran responded with shock and fear. “For me, I just find it surprising how often [Asian hate crimes] can happen,” he said.“I don’t live too far from the school, so learning that this is happening nearby makes me worry that the same thing could happen to me or my family at any time. I always try to utilize what I have on my person, whether it is pepper spray, a taser or even a key, to keep me safe in the event Ido get attacked.” Other Asian students attending Sunny Hills High School have expressed similar concerns and have also taken measures to protect themselves and their parents or other older family members. “It’s sad seeing how another community is being targeted with this much intensity,”junior Donghyun Kim said in response to learning about the March 31 hate crime.“It sucks because the Fullerton area is Asian-dominant, and such ignorance in our community is pretty disgusting.” Although Kim said he was not aware of the Fullerton incident or the one in Tu- stin where a 40-year-old man allegedly punched an 18-year-old Korean woman ata public park on April 11, he said he considered purchasing pepper spray for him and his mom. “I never really considered it until recently but I feel like my mother, as a woman, should carry some sort of weapon for protection,” he said.“Reading any articles I come across would keep
