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

āWhatās disturbing is how I always have to see these damn post in my fucking feed everytime yaāll cant out run the bullets. Good thing you may have a chance since you exercise #whitelivesmatter,ā one user commented on Jessās Story where she was tracking a workout on her Apple Watch.

Another user sent a private direct message to Jess, telling her, āYouāre still a n*****.ā
When Jess responded that they both were a child of God, the user wrote back, āgod donāt make skin that dark.ā
Ho does not believe not being racist is enough, as explained in a blog post on her website.
āThe hate and blatant racism Iām seeing on social media this week alone is breaking my heart. Itās 2020 and my black friends are STILL getting racist messages. Iām getting nasty messages for simply showing my support for #blacklivesmatter. Iām sick of it,ā she wrote.
Ho shared how one person told her via email that she was āobnoxious.ā

āUsing your exercise channel to preach your inane, junior high school opinions about serious political topics,ā 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.
