Two days later, McDonough noticed a one-star review on her restaurant’s Yelp page. The review was posted by a user with the name Kirk R. It read: “This Asian lady was so rude and disrespectful. The lady got crazy for asking for popcorn chicken. Not to brite with all the Asian people getting attacked. With that attitude, it’s a matter of time before this place gets there self caught up. Overpriced food that ain’t even all that great.”
McDonough said multiple people told her that they had reported the review to Yelp, claiming it was racist. The Yelper Kirk R posted multiple versions of the review, rewording the post to remove the reference to Asian people getting attacked and to add language that accused McDonough of acting “in a discriminating way.”
“It really shocked me because it’s not just in San Francisco that Asian people are getting hated on right now,” McDonough said. “I’m Vietnamese and I grew up in Little Saigon and I have never been persecuted or discriminated against in any way. This made me feel very vulnerable.”
McDonough posted about the Yelp review on Facebook.
“Wow... Even little ol’ me living in OC working in LB getting a taste of #asianhate... I’m surprised and angry,” she wrote.
The incident at Lacquered happened less than a week after six women of Asian descent were killed in Atlanta and amid a rise in hate crimes toward Asian people across the country.
The Cal State San Bernardino Center for Study of Hate and Extremism found a total of 122 anti-Asian hate crimes last year, according to a survey of police departments in 16 major U.S. Cities. That’s an 149% increase from 49 crimes in 2019.
