A group of Vietnamese merchants in Oakland's Little Saigon gathered Wednesday morning to demand the same attention from city leaders that was given to Chinatown when crime was spiking there.
OAKLAND – In the area along International Boulevard in East Oakland called Little Saigon, most of the buildings are clad with iron gates and prostitutes openly ply their trade in the middle of the day.
A group of Vietnamese merchants gathered Wednesday morning to demand the same attention from city leaders that was given to Chinatown when crime was spiking there. "I had other customers inside," Wong told KPIX 5."This was in broad daylight, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Asians are perceived as easy targets. It's like we're looked upon as being timid and not speaking out."
"A lot of the shop owners are monolingual. They are afraid because they feel they're not being heard and understood," said Thao."So, we must make sure we have access to language, because we know that if we activate this space, that's how we keep ourselves safe."
