"Two years ago, something traumatic happened to me," Kane Ma wrote. "And, due to the horrific acts we witnessed in Atlanta this week and the increase in Asian hate crimes, I feel that I can no longer be silent." Silence for the last two years is what Ma, a former UNC Basketball player, felt would protect him after an apparent racially motivated attack. (WRAL Sports Fan)
