This is the moment of human redemption when Dwayne, a man from northern Ontario, Canada, enters his local shop and witnesses a horrible racist incident involving the Asian-Canadian shop owner being told to "go back to your own country" on March 14.

The racist sentiment against Asians has gone up dramatically since the beginning of the global COVID-19 pandemic, with the hatred erupting on a national scale this week after Robert Aaron Long, a white man, was charged with fatally shooting eight people, including six women of Asian descent, at spas in the Atlanta area on Tuesday night.

Investigators said it was too early to determine a motive. After Long’s arrest, he denied harboring a racial bias and told officials that he carried out the shootings as a form of vengeance for his “sexual addiction" with many experts dismissing that as a reduction of the impact of racism and racial fetishization.

Other incidents that clearly seemed racially motivated have not resulted in arrests. The police are still searching for a man who called an Asian-American mother the “Chinese virus” and spat at her child in Queens in March.

"I attempted to lift his spirits with a thank you card and listening to how the ordeal made him feel," said Dwayne.
