Jeremy Lin heartbroken seeing recent videos, rise in attacks against Asian Americans

Jeremy Lin is, naturally, angry when seeing recent videos of attacks against Asian Americans in the United States.

Why wouldn’t he be? The Santa Cruz Warriors guard and former NBA star is one of the most prominent Chinese Americans to ever play in the league, so the recent rise in hate crimes against Asians in the country naturally hits home.

Yet each time he watches a new video of a seemingly random attack, Lin doesn’t stay angry for long. Quickly, he just gets sad.

“After a while, I feel bad,” Lin said, via NBC Sports Bay Area.
