American karate star Sakura Kokumai says she was the target of anti-Asian slurs and threats while training at a park in California.
Kokumai, who has already qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, posted a series of videos on Instagram last week showing part of her encounter with a man at a basketball court in Orange County. The verbal attacks appear to start randomly. In one of the first clips, a man with orange shorts walks toward her and says "get away from me." She replied, "What have I done?"More Related News
