Former NBA star Jeremy Lin says he's seen a rise in racism across the US since the coronavirus pandemic started and says the country must address the issue of anti-Asian violence.
"This has been something that's really blowing up or boiling up for a little bit for me," Lin told CNN's Don Lemon on Tuesday.

"I've seen since last year, around January when everything started to happen, I've just seen the rise in a lot of these attacks and hate crimes."
而此前,林书豪也在社交媒体发文称,在近期比赛中自己被另一球员称呼为“新冠病毒”(coronavirus)。
林书豪并未指明该球员是谁,并表示自己只想引发人们对这一更广泛问题的关注。
Currently playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors, the G League affiliate for the Golden State Warriors, Lin says he was recently called "coronavirus" during a basketball game and shared his experience on social media.
The 32-year-old hasn't named the perpetrator, insisting he only wants to raise awareness of a more widespread problem.
他还谈到了自己上大学时的经历,在打球时多次被喊“中国佬”(chink)。在林书豪看来,美国仇恨亚裔问题由来已久,新冠疫情将这些问题都暴露了出来。
Lin told Lemon, "When I was in college, and I was playing an Ivy League game and I was called "chink" multiple times.”
He says he was targeted multiple times with racist slurs during his college basketball career but never revealed who those players were. And he believes Covid-19 has simply exposed an underlying problem.
林书豪表示,希望大家能够花更多的时间倾听彼此的声音,而不是评判与谴责。
“我希望看到跨文化团结,我希望看到大家都支持反种族主义,不仅仅在一个群体中,而是所有人都如此。”
"I think at the end of the day, what I would love to see, is that people spend more time listening and hearing than judging and condemning.
"I would love to see cross-cultural solidarity. I would love to see people supporting anti-racism, not just in one people group, but across the board."
