📢 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. 🧵

Being a reporter, I never wanted to make myself the story. But this time, I thought there’s more at stake than myself. I think about the community I represent, and who might find the governor’s comment hurtful. A thread:
Reporter Yanqi Xu did some good journalism.
Rather than respond to her findings, Jim Pillen went on the radio and said that her work wasn't worth reading because of where she came from.
How embarrassing. Infuriating. Sad.

Won my age group today at the Potomac River Half Marathon. Training for NYC Marathon is paying off. It is less than 30 days away and I’m still $430 short of my $5,000 goal. Will you donate $20 to help me reach it? fundraisers.hakuapp.com/fund…
