According to a report, 2022 saw the highest total of hate crimes since 1991, which is when the LAPD started collecting data on it.
On May 13, 31-year-old Nicholas Weber allegedly bumped Roque's car in a McDonald's drive-thru and proceeded to taunt her and her mother. While mocking an Asian accent, Weber shouted at the pair saying"You're so Asian" and"I kill you."
"Regardless of whether they are skyrocketing or remaining stagnant, there are still a lot of hate crimes that go unreported," said Roque. "It's very disheartening to see my family as victims," said Roque."For us to do all of this work just to get the justice that we needed."
