Olympic gold medal winner Chloe Kim has opened up about her experience with racism amid the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in the United States.
In an interview with ESPN's Alyssa Roenigk, Kim said she has received messages from people who called her "part of the problem because I was being silent."
"I was like, 'Do you realize I'm also Asian American and this affects me?' It was a lot of white people telling me they were upset at my silence," she added.
Roenigk noted Kim shared a screenshot on Instagram on Wednesday of a direct message she received calling her a "dumb Asian b---h" and said she receives "hundreds of these messages and it breaks my heart that people think this type of behavior is okay.
