Since Dancing With The Stars isn’t filming right now, Carrie Ann Inaba has some time to focus on other projects. These days, to shine a light on Asian-American hate crimes. She recently shared a video from The Talk where she tearfully reacted to a viral video displaying one such crime.

In the past year, Asian American hate crimes and xenophobic rhetoric have increased dramatically. In 2020, NYC alone experienced an uptick of anti-Asian crimes by 1,900%. That is staggering. We need to not only stop the violence, but get to the root of where this violence is coming from,” the DWTS judge captioned the video.

“If people had been better educated about the virus, we may not have seen so many crimes like this one. I stand with the survivors of these malicious attacks, and also recognize the fact that the perpetrators of these crimes were partly influenced by leadership that participated in the spread of racist misinformation. I hope we can recover from this as a nation and work to make sure that all minority groups feel safe in this country 🙏 #stopaapihate #stophate
