SAN FRANCISCO – An Asian woman riding a Muni bus Thursday was a victim of a hate crime by a middle-aged white man who threw eggs at her.
“Stupid Chinese b—-!” the unidentified man said, according to Michelle Young. The man had dozens of eggs and also threw them at other passengers who stood up for Young.
It’s unknown if the man was deliberately seeking Asians or other minorities, or if it was a spur-of-the-moment.

The man continued the attack after leaving the bus. Young tweeted it took her over seven hours to wash the eggs completely out of her hair.
