I moved back to Texas from California because of the racism against Asians that I experienced in the Bay Area. Texas is obviously not without its racism problems, but I think it's a lot easier to Asian American here.
Can I ask where you lived in the Bay Area, and what types of racism you experienced or witnessed? Was it in work environments or just out on the street?
I lived in in SF (Soma) and the East Bay (Livermore and Pleasanton). Both places were bad. My white coworkers and neighbors would say bad things about Vietnamese and Chinese people. My wife and I were verbally harassed by random people on the streets of SF. It wasn't a daily thing, but it was enough to make us leave and never want to go back.
