A San Francisco tech entrepreneur says his garage was defaced with a racial slur against Asians this weekend, spurring outrage on Twitter after he shared images of the vandal online.
Justin Kan, a partner at the start-up seed-funding group Y Combinator, shared a photo and security camera video on Twitter on Saturday morning, showing an unknown person in a hoodie and hat vandalizing his garage with a phrase directed against Asians.
Kan, who is of Chinese descent, said he believes that his home was specifically targeted because he, his fiancee and his brothers are among the few Asian Americans on their street in Dubose Triangle in San Francisco.
