A group of teens is accused of committing an anti-Asian hate crime in Brooklyn, New York City, after allegedly hurling whipped cream at an Asian couple while making mocking gestures at them last month. The couple, both aged 29, were walking in the area when the group of four teens allegedly approached them, pulled back the corners of their eyes — mimicking the couple's physical features — and yelled "ni hao" (Chinese for "hello"). One of the teens allegedly sprayed whipped cream from a can into another girl's hand, who then flung it at the victims.
