It\u2019s racist. It\u2019s toxic,\u201d Yang <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndrewYang\/status\/1397217776893186048\">said<\/a> at a press conference in Queens alongside her husband, adding that the cartoon&nbsp;\u201cperpetuates the trope of the Asian foreigner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily News cartoon depicted Yang as a&nbsp;tourist on a visit to Times Square, apparently a reference to Yang\u2019s recent remark that the Times Square subway station is his favorite one.<\/p>\n<p>Evelyn Yang appeared to be on the verge of tears as she added that,&nbsp;\u201cit\u2019s very hard to explain this to our children,\u201d the couple\u2019s two young sons. Yang&nbsp;said she was \u201cborn and raised in Queens\u201d and met and married her husband in the city. The couple had both their sons in New York&nbsp;City as well, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time you make a joke about Andrew not being a New Yorker, you are telling Asian-Americans that they don\u2019t belong,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only does this dehumanize Asians, it promotes racism against them,\u201d Yang said. \u201cWhat message does this send to all the Asians who are afraid to go outside?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yang first criticized the cartoon Monday on Twitter, slamming it as a \u201cracist disfiguration\u201d of her husband.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"4.2\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cartoon <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3s68j4EHct\">pic.twitter.com\/3s68j4EHct<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bill Bramhall (@BillBramhall) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillBramhall\/status\/1396901906694426626?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.366771159875\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I can\u2019t believe my eyes.

The published version of the cartoon gave Yang only slightly more visible eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Violent attacks on Asian Americans in New York City have spiked sharply this year over last year. Asians were the targets of at least 80 hate crimes in the city from the beginning of the year through April 4, up from only 16 over the same period last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/hate-crimes-in-new-york-city-continue-to-rise-11620077186\">according<\/a> to New York Police Department data.<\/p>\n<p>Over all of 2020, the NYPD recorded 28 hate crimes against Asians. In 2019, only three attacks were recorded in the city. According to NYPD officials, some of the attacks on Asian-Americans were spurred by anti-Asian sentiment resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, which originated in Wuhan, China.<\/p>\n<p>Yang, who ran for president as a Democrat in 2020, is currently considered a frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race, alongside&nbsp;Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
