Moroccan-British model Nora Attal voices support for Asian community in the US

DUBAI: Moroccan-British model Nora Attal took to Instagram this week to speak up about violence against the Asian community in the US in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. 

She shared an image on her Instagram Stories from a page that reported that a university lecturer was attacked by a racist gang of men in Southampton. 

She wrote: “This is disgusting… people are using Asians as a scapegoat to vent their anger.” 

Earlier this week, US-Iraqi beauty mogul Huda Kattan also took to Instagram to voice her concerns. “Sadly these alarming events have had very little attention within the media, and that is not okay,” she wrote in a message she shared on her makeup brand Huda Beauty’s Instagram page on Monday.
