00:00They've worked their way past column A's and column B's, past no starch please, to become
00:05our nation's model minority. Forget poor huddled masses, this wave of immigrants is highly educated
00:12and successful. You know the country overall has been so poisoned by this notion of the model
00:18minority racist myth. We are offered limited access and privileges towards proximity to whiteness
00:26and the exchange is that you have to allow society to use you. It's just factually incorrect.

00:38threat. Tonight a dangerous virus now spreading rapidly in China. There's new video tonight of
00:43another brutal attack on an Asian American. Of the eight victims tragically killed in the
00:48Atlanta mass shooting, six were women of Asian descent.
