Ken Jeong Speaks Out On Anti-Asian Violence: This 'Kung Flu' S**t Has To Stop

Ken Jeong has some powerful words regarding the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in the United States.

In the wake of the Atlanta spa shootings last week that killed eight people, six of them Asian women, the typically funny Jeong got serious on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on Monday and spoke candidly about how racist rhetoric perpetuated and popularized by former President Donald Trump has affected Asian Americans.


“This is precisely due to weaponizing terms like ‘China virus’ and ‘kung flu,’” Jeong told Meyers.

“And also the fact that, in this particular crime, there’s debate whether this crime is racially motivated,” he said, referencing the Atlanta-area shootings. “Asian American women are two times as likely to be assaulted in America. This was clearly, clearly racially motivated. This was clearly a hate crime.”

He continued:

“As a guy who used to be a doctor and whose wife is still practicing medicine, I have an idea of how to solve COVID. It’s mask, vaccination, common sense, don’t be an asshole. But as a human, I don’t know how to solve racism. It takes listening, learning, loving, being tolerant. But it really starts off, in our particular case as Asian Americans, this ‘kung flu’ shit has to stop. And we really need to express that loudly. And we are.”

Jeong is certainly not alone in his outrage. Some Asian American celebrities have been warning about the damage Trump’s racist agenda has been causing since the beginning of the pandemic.

“The pandemic is reminding us that our belonging is conditional,” actor John Cho wrote in an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times in April 2020. “One moment we are Americans, the next we are all foreigners, who ‘brought’ the virus here.”

Many celebrities, such as Lucy Liu, Jeremy Lin and Awkwafina, have shared their experiences with racism and their frustration with the hate against their community. You can read some of their statements below.

Only SBF losers hate Chinese. Chinese in general treat their people well. At least the Chinese leadership lift the country out of poverty. Shitskin treat cows better than their people and operates on basis of castes. m&ds rape their own daughters. Arabs fuck camels and offer their daughters to sleep with guests as a form of hospitality.

That's a great example of leftist fake news media at work. Why don't you show incidents prior to this statement that many innocent Trump supporters punched and attacked for no reason by leftist racist democrats promoted by fake news media? Or are you like your dictator Biden suffering from dementia?

Stimulus checks and tax refunds are hitting bank accounts. Will spending surge?

Business has been picking up DBR Designs, and owner Robin Thibodeaux thanks the payments issued by the federal government beginning last week as part of the $1.9 trillion economic recovery plan.

With the government putting at least $1,400 in the hands of about 90 million Americans during a time when many are also receiving income tax refunds, consumers may find themselves with the most money in their pockets in quite some time.

Will consumer spending spike in Acadiana? It already has, Thibodeaux said.


“I would say that people are certainly out spending because of the stimulus checks,” Thibodeaux said. “I find even visiting with my employees that they are using it to stimulate the economy and not necessarily putting as much effort into savings.”



Home décor could be an area that may get more interest from customers. Many people have bought new homes during the pandemic, mostly becaue of historically low interest rates for a mortgage, or have made significant improvements to their homes.

Customers visting her shop at 505 Jefferson St. are spending on such things as fabric drapes and custom window treatments.

More people also seem to be interested in supporting local artists, she said, especially after seeing how the pandemic disproportionately affected them.

What we know about Robert Aaron Long, the suspect in Atlanta spa shootings
By Eliott C. McLaughlin, Casey Tolan and Amanda Watts, CNN

(CNN)State and federal investigators are scrambling to learn more about Robert Aaron Long, the suspect in a string of deadly shootings at three Atlanta-area Asian spas, and his alleged motive.
Not much information has surfaced about the 21-year-old from Woodstock, about a half-hour drive north of Atlanta.
He is being held without bond in Cherokee County, where he faces four counts of murder and a charge of aggravated assault, according to the county sheriff's office. He also has been charged with more four counts of murder, Atlanta Police Department said.
Tuesday's shootings took place at two spas in Atlanta and another in Acworth, about 10 miles west of Woodstock -- which left eight people, at least four of them Asian women, dead.
The four killed in the shooting near Woodstock were Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33, of Acworth; Paul Andre Michels, 54, of Atlanta; Xiaojie Tan, 49, of Kennesaw; and Daoyou Feng, 44.
The injured survivor was Elcias R. Hernandez-Ortiz, 30, of Acworth, authorities said.

Authorities located Long about 150 miles south of Atlanta in Crisp County. State troopers took him into custody after using a special pursuit maneuver to spin his car out of control.

Robert Aaron Long is the suspect in the shootings in the Atlanta area.
The suspect "did take responsibility for the shootings," Capt. Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office said.
Suspect had been treated for sexual addiction
Sheriff Frank Reynolds of Cherokee County, where the Acworth shootings took place, told reporters Long "made indicators that he has some issues -- potentially sexual addiction -- and may have frequented some of these places in the past."
Reynolds said those issues could be the motivation behind the shooting.
A law enforcement source said the suspect was recently kicked out of the house by his family due to his sexual addiction, which, the source said, included frequently spending hours on end watching pornography online.
According to an incident report from the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, a 911 caller said the suspect could possibly be his son and "does have a tracker on his phone." Another anonymous caller to 911 told dispatch the suspect was "kicked out of his parents' house last night," adding that he "was emotional," the incident report says.
It is not clear whether the businesses affected were places of sex work. During a news conference on Tuesday, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms stated the businesses were "legally operating" and had not previously been on the Atlanta Police Department's radar.
"We are not about to get into victim blaming, victim shaming, here. As far as we know in Atlanta, we have not had any 911 calls from that location. I believe one minor call on someone stealing some keys," Bottoms said. "So we don't know additional information about what his motives were, but we certainly will not begin to blame victims."

Here's what we know about the metro Atlanta spa shootings that left 8 dead
Tyler Bayless said he shared a housing unit with Long at Maverick Recovery, a rehab facility in Roswell, Georgia, between August 2019 and January or February 2020. He said that most residents were suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, but Long was being treated for sex addiction.
"It was something that absolutely would torture him," Bayless said. He said Long was a "deeply religious person -- he would often go on tangents about his interpretation of the Bible," and was distraught about his addiction to sex.
Bayless said that on multiple occasions during his stay at the facility, Long told him that he had "relapsed" and "gone to massage parlors explicitly to engage in sex acts."
After hearing Long was the suspect in the shootings, Bayless said he was shocked that his former roommate would do such a thing.
Mason Clements, who is listed as the registered agent at Maverick Recovery in business filings, said in a text message that "I am unable to comment on any client past, present or future due to confidentiality agreements."
Another former roommate of Long's also told CNN that Long had been in rehabilitation for sex addiction, and that in summer 2020 he had lived with Long at a transition house for people leaving rehab, though he declined to name the facility or divulge the state where it's located. He said he had not spoken to Long "in a long time."
He recognized Long from the surveillance footage disseminated by authorities, he said, and Cherokee County dispatch records indicate the ex-roommate called police Tuesday night.

Police apprehend 1 suspect in deadly Atlanta spa shootings rampage 02:11
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to CNN they removed an Instagram account the company believed was linked to Long.
The account had been inactive for some time, the spokesperson said.
A screenshot of the account, obtained by CNN, showed it used the name "Aaron Long" and the bio section caption read, "Pizza, guns, drums, music, family, and God. This pretty much sums up my life. It's a pretty good life."
Long told police the shootings were "not racially motivated," according to Baker, of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. Baker also referenced Long's "sex addiction," saying that Long sees the spas as a "temptation" that he "wanted to eliminate."
According to two law enforcement sources involved in the investigation, Long attempted to justify his actions when he told police he thought about killing himself, but decided instead to "help" others with sexual addictions by targeting spas.
Investigators believe that when he was captured, Long might have been en route to Florida to perpetrate more shootings, Lance Bottoms told reporters.
Gun was purchased legally
Long had a 9 mm firearm in his car when he was arrested, Baker said.
Long purchased his gun legally at a local gun store, Big Woods Goods in Holly Springs, Georgia, an attorney for the company confirmed to CNN.
In a brief statement to CNN, Matt Kilgo said the company is fully cooperating with law enforcement and there is no indication that there was anything improper with the transfer on Tuesday.
It was Long's family who turned him in Tuesday, Reynolds said, indicating the parents called police after seeing surveillance footage that authorities posted to social media.
"We were contacted by members of the family indicating that may be their son, so we met with them," Reynolds said. "They were very distraught, and they were very helpful in this apprehension."
Once investigators identified Long, the sheriff said, they tracked his phone and anticipated his movements, leading to his arrest in Crisp County.
CNN went to the home of Long's grandparents in Morristown, Tennessee, on Wednesday.
"All I want to say is that he is our grandson and we still love him very much," said Long's grandmother, Margaret Long, who was visibly upset. Long's grandfather interrupted the conversation, saying they'd been told not to speak to anyone and gave no further comment.
In his mugshot, Long is wearing a suicide prevention suit as a precautionary measure, which is customary, Crisp County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Haley Little said.

Suspect in Atlanta spa shootings that killed 8 removed from church membership
Meanwhile, the church said that it is cooperating fully with police investigations.

ATLANTA — A metro Atlanta church has announced it has cast out a man charged with a series of spa shootings that left eight people dead.
Crabapple Baptist Church has replaced its website with a lengthy statement along with questions and answers regarding Robert Aaron Long's connection to the church and their decision to revoke his membership.


"These actions do not in any way reflect the biblical character of a true follower of Jesus Christ and member of His Church," the church statement said. "In accordance with the biblical pattern and our church bylaws, Crabapple First Baptist Church has completed the process of church discipline to remove Robert Aaron Long from membership since we can no longer affirm that he is truly a regenerate believer in Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 5)."
The church went on to condemn the violence Long is accused of committing, adding that every person is "worthy of respect" and that "all people are equal in dignity, value, and worth."
"We categorically reject the idea that violence is appropriate, regardless of one’s issues or motivations," the statement read. "Murder, especially, is a heinous evil and grievous sin. We also explicitly denounce any and all forms of hatred or violence against Asians or Asian-Americans."
After the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office released surveillance pictures showing the suspect in the shooting, Long’s parents reportedly contacted police to identify him. In the church's message to the public, it said that the Long family has been members of the church for many years.
Long is the only suspect in the shootings. The 21-year-old white man from Woodstock was captured after being implicated in the killing of four people at a spa near Acworth and four more people at two spas in Midtown Atlanta.
In an interview with Cherokee Sheriff's investigators in Crisp County following his capture on March 16, Long reportedly confessed to the shootings saying he was eliminating the temptation that fueled his sex addiction. Of the eight people killed, seven were women and six were Asian women.

This crime sits at the intersection of two realities that cannot be divorced from one another - racism and the hypersexualization of Asian women in American culture. For example, being called exotic may seem flattering but it can be hurtful and play into negative stereotypes. 11Alive spoke to three Asian women about their experiences. Get their perspective, here.
The horrific killings come amid a surge in hate crimes targeting Asian Americans and those of Asian descent across the U.S. during the coronavirus pandemic.
Nearly 3,800 incidents of anti-Asian violence and discrimination were reported across the country in the past year to Stop AAPI Hate, a coalition that tracks crimes targeting Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). These incidents included vandalism, verbal attacks and physical assaults. The data also suggests that nearly 70 percent of the reported incidents targeted Asian women.
