Federal investigators determined that the man who stabbed an Asian American family out shopping at a Sam’s Club last month committed a hate crime fueled by coronavirus panic, according to an FBI report obtained by ABC News.

Suspect Jose Gomez, 19, admitted to police that “he stabbed the family because he thought the family was Chinese, and infecting people with the coronavirus,” according to the document. A Sam’s Club employee named Zach Owen was stabbed in the leg as he tried to stop the attack.

The attack is only one of many increasing coronavirus fueled hate crimes towards Asian Americans. The FBI also warned of an increase in hate crimes towards Asian Americans in the coming weeks. .

Floyd Cardoz presented a new approach to Indian food. He is most recognized for blending native Indian cooking with fine dining with his restaurant Tabla and winning Top Chef Masters in 2011. "Indians have to tell the story that our food is f–--ing amazing. It doesn't have to be thought of as pedestrian or cheap," Cardoz once said.

He recently past away due to COVID-19. He will be missed but his influence will not be forgotten. @nbcnews recently talked to South Asian chefs to discuss what Cardoz meant to the South Asian culinary world. Read more at aanow.com

7'2" @kzsotto aims to be the 1st full Filipino player in the @NBA. “There haven’t been any full-blooded Filipino that has been to the NBA, and I just wanna be the first one, and I just wanna show everyone that we can also make it." At 7'2". 17 year old Kai Sotto is taking the steps to fulfill his dream of becoming the 1st full Filipino player in the NBA.

Sotto, whose father played professional basketball in the Philippines has recently moved to Atlanta and enrolled in The Skill Factory, a sports skill and development organization.

This puts him on the U.S. school circuit to allow him to compete on a higher level of competition and potentially play for a college team.

What college or team do you want to see him on?

Asian Americans are having to deal with two pandem

Asian Americans are having to deal with two pandemics - COVID-19 and daily bigotry. “The person called my Filipino mother a ‘Chinese coronavirus bitch' and said that both of my parents are ‘bearers of the virus." “Go back to China or I’ll shoot you myself!” These are just a few of the things that have been told to Asian Americans since the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic. “They just see that you’re Asian and you are horrible,” said one victim of coronavirus related hate.

The encounters are not unlike what American Muslims and other Arabs and South Asians experienced after the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Much like Trump’s “build the wall” and “invasion” rhetoric has led to a rise in anti-immigrant and -Latino sentiment and attacks, Trump’s latest term for the coronavirus ultimately has the dire consequences of fueling bigotry against Asian Americans, said Amy Ruan, a Chinese immigrant who lives in New York.
