Asian American entrepreneur Cassey Ho, also known as Blogilates, took to her Instagram to share hateful rhetoric that was sent to one of her Black fellow fitness coach in a series of screengrabs.

Ho used her Instagram Story to highlight Jess, a self-described fitness enthusiast, personal trainer and coach who received hateful comments on her posts.

Whatever’s in our hearts, our lives will reflect.💕⁣ #fableticspartner ⁣ Let love lead. No matter how long the road.💕⁣ ⁣ Even when it’s not comfortable. Let love lead.💕⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Lyrics from Let Love Lead by @iamterrian. This song has been on repeat! I’ve felt so many raw emotions this past week just like so many other Americans that hate injustice and racism. I’m giving myself time to feel how i feel and process it all. During this time I ask that you show your fellow black person some empathy as we try to not let our wounds and hurt take over our actions, and instead continue to choose unity and love over hate. ⁣ #justiceforgeorgefloyd #weareinthistogether ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #moveinfabletics#myfabletics#justiceforahmaud#justiceforfloyd#justiceforahmaudarbery#justice#blacklivesmatter#racisminamerica#blackcommunity#blackbloggers#dallastexas#loveconquersall#goodnewsfeed#blackgirlmagic#chooselovely

A post shared by JESS 💫 (@jess_likethat_) on May 31, 2020 at 5:21am PDT

Jess was targeted for being a Black woman on Instagram, with lewd comments and vitriol being made on her posts.

“What’s disturbing is how I always have to see these damn post in my fucking feed everytime ya’ll cant out run the bullets. Good thing you may have a chance since you exercise #whitelivesmatter,” one user commented on Jess’s Story where she was tracking a workout on her Apple Watch.

Another user sent a private direct message to Jess, telling her, “You’re still a n*****.”

When Jess responded that they both were a child of God, the user wrote back, “god don’t make skin that dark.”

Ho does not believe not being racist is enough, as explained in a blog post on her website.

“The hate and blatant racism I’m seeing on social media this week alone is breaking my heart. It’s 2020 and my black friends are STILL getting racist messages. I’m getting nasty messages for simply showing my support for #blacklivesmatter. I’m sick of it,” she wrote.

Ho shared how one person told her via email that she was “obnoxious.”

“Using your exercise channel to preach your inane, junior high school opinions about serious political topics,” the person wrote.

Ho is one of many Asian celebrities who are using their platform to support the Black Lives Matter movement following the death of George Floyd and other Black victims, leading to nationwide protests calling for accountability by police.

Other sports brands, including Nike, encouraged followers of its brand to make change.

Other Asian fitness instructors have also voiced their support, including Chloe Ting, who has 9.4 million subscribers on YouTube. Ting participated in the black squares post on Instagram, writing to her users how they can help end racism and sharing resources.
