华裔小伙婚礼变葬礼，朋友哀叹：“他的命还不如一辆二手车值钱……”

"(They) killed my son ... looked like killing an animal like that." This is the tearful indictment of a mother who has suffered the tragic loss of a son.

In 1982, a tragedy stunned American society. 27-year-old American Chinese, Vincent Chin was fatally beaten with a baseball bat by two white men just two days before his wedding.

At that time, the Japanese auto industry was seen as a serious threat to its US counterpart. Suffering from plummeting car sales and massive layoffs, US manufacturers, politicians and union leaders shifted their blame to the Japanese auto industry. Unemployed American auto workers became hateful toward people of Japanese descent.

The two white murderers, Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz, worked at a local auto company. They mistook Vincent for a Japanese person and vented their rage on him.

"The victim lingered for 4 days, which again, based upon everything that was indicative to me, that they attempted to administer a punishment. They did this too severely in careless, reckless disregard of human life which is what manslaughter is," declared Charles Kaufman, the judge for Chin's case.

"He thinks that we owe him some kind of a gratitude, because we, the people, Chinese people here, are united against his judgment." said a retired employee at US Ford Motor Company.

"All men are created equal", proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence is a mere slogan with no action.

Merrick Garland, US Attorney General once addressed that "the top domestic violent extremist threat comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically, those who advocated for the superiority of the white race."

Don't judge a book by its cover, they say, but in the US, it only seems to work if you're a white book.
