BACKGROUND: In June of last year, five Asian teens were attacked and
beaten by a large group of white high school students on the corner of
Taraval and 19th avenue. The white attackers initiated the
confrontation by pushing, shoving, and accosting the Asian teens with
racial epithets and slurs. When the Asian teens tried to walk away, the
group of white youths followed, surrounded, and assaulted the Asian
teens. One of the attackers has been identified and charged with felony
assault and a hate crime enhancement.
