Jeremy Lin’s journey has been much different than most on his way to NBA fame, and now that he’s back working his way into the NBA, he’s experiencing things a little differently. Lin is now in a much different place than the Linsanity of the 2011-12 season, but he’s still got a big platform due to his once star status. In recent weeks, Lin has used his platform to raise awareness around Asian hate.
In partnership with Bleacher Report, Lin shared a powerful message bringing the Asian hate into the spotlight.

Asian hate has been on the rise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump blaming the pandemic on China probably didn’t help either.
