(SAN FRANCISCO, CA) Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) issued the following statement in response to graffiti saying “No more Chinese,” which was found most recently in the Portola neighborhood of San Francisco over the weekend. Reports suggest this graffiti has appeared in various locations over the past few months.
“Chinese Americans are the only ethnic group to be excluded from immigrating into our country via the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This hateful graffiti is a reminder of this hysteria and could not be further from our values as a community. San Francisco has long provided refuge to people facing discrimination. We cherish diversity and celebrate it with pride. By catching and prosecuting the perpetrator of this crime, we can send a message that hate has no place in our city.”
