Korean-American actor Daniel Dae-Kim spoke on the spreading racism problem in the United States.
Daniel vs. Kim appeared on CNN’s’Quomo Prime’ on the 17th (local time) and commented on the recent shootings in Atlanta, saying, “I have a skepticism about the lack of connection between race and this crime.” This case clearly expressed the view that it was a crime based on racial discrimination.
He also confessed to the heartbreaking things his family had suffered in the past. His sister also fell victim to racist crimes in 2015.
At the time, Kim’s younger sister was running near the residence. At this time, a man drove up to her and yelled at her to go to the sidewalk, not the shoulder. His sister went to India as the man said, but the perpetrator reversed the car and hit her sister by car.
Kim’s younger sister told the perpetrator,’You just hit me by car’, but the man reversed the car and hit the running sister by car again.
Daniel v. Kim spoke of the case and said, “The perpetrator had a record of violence against another Asian woman, but the prosecutor said it was not a hate crime and only prosecuted the perpetrator for careless driving. This is our history.”
Earlier, Daniel vs. Kim shared a photo of the Atlanta shooting suspect on his Twitter account, saying, “A person who has the power to help but sits still, your silence is a conspiracy.”
In March of last year, he said, “I’m Asian and I have the coronavirus, but I didn’t get it from China. I got it from New York, USA. Please stop prejudice and meaningless violence against Asian people.” I also did.
Daniel vs. Kim was born in Busan in 1968 and immigrated to the United States at the age of 2 to become naturalized. She is an actor widely known to domestic fans by appearing with Kim Yoon-jin in the American ABC drama’Lost’.
