Article Excerpt: "...Kevin Qin said he wanted to warn everyone in the South Loop – specifically Asian Americans, who he believes may be the next target of the group that attacked him. Qin was attacked as he made a late-night trip to the Jewel-Osco store at Roosevelt Road and Wabash Avenue this week. ...He said before the group of men approached, they yelled, "Yo, this Chinese (expletive) is like trying to gang up on me or something." ...Qin and community activists are calling the attack a hate crime, although police have not classified it as such. "He survived the Iraq War but almost got killed at his home right here in Chicago"
