Despite backlash from Asian-American civil rights groups, FBI chief Christopher Wray defended his previous portrayal of Chinese people in the U.S. as threats. “And I think it’s going to take a whole-of-society response by us.”Wray’s initial statement had garnered immense criticism from Asian-American civil rights groups, who wrote a letter demanding a meeting with the FBI chief. “To be clear, we do not open investigations based on race, or ethnicity, or national origin,” he told the outlet. HuffPost reached out to the FBI, but the agency has yet to comment on the status of the meeting. Yang mentioned that Wray’s rejection of race-based open investigations was a “useful clarification, but it is inadequate.”
