Kokumai, a karate star, shared videos of a man harassing and threatening her at a park in California.
American karate star Sakura Kokumai says she was the target of anti-Asian slurs and threats while training at a park in California. Kokumai, who has already qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, posted a series of videos on Instagram last week showing part of her encounter with a man at a basketball court in Orange County. The verbal attacks appear to start randomly. In one of the first clips, a man with orange shorts walks toward her and says «get away from me.» She replied, «What have I done?» In another video, he called her a «stupid b****» and threatened to «f***» her up.» In the final video, he got into his car and drove away, yelling racist insults at her. In her video caption, she lamented how no one stepped in to help her, despite people being around.
