I'm slow to spot this, but this is me fighting back tears while talking about a teacher I had in high school.

AAJA stands with @flatwaterfreep journalist @yanqixu_, who should be able to report without fear of her work being dismissed simply because of where she grew up. We're proud to call her a member.

📢 Statement: The Asian American Journalists Association stands with Yanqi Xu, the Flatwater Free Press (@flatwaterfreep) journalist who was the target of remarks that attempted to dismiss her reporting because of her country of origin. 🧵
