Hello city council members,
I was so disappointed reading Sister City Commissioner Larry Larsen's racist comments on the Coronavirus and
China. The recent explosion in the number of attacks and violence against Asian members of our community
stems from comments just like these. The city council has claimed to want to make sure that people of Asian
descent in our community feel safe, but if the council does not take action when racism is as blatant as this, then
the city council is not only not doing its job, but perpetuating the idea that being racist against APAC people is
acceptable in our city.
If you truly want Anaheim to be a city that welcomes all individuals, as I surely hope you do, Mr. Larsen should
immediately be removed from his position. Further, anyone who makes comments such as the ones made by
Mr. Larsen regarding any race, religion, creed, sexuality, etc should be immediately removed from whatever
role they're in. Anaheim should not stand for this type of behavior.
Anaheim Resident,
