An Ohio Army veteran and township trustee on Tuesday made a point about racism toward Asian Americans.
Republican West Chester Trustee Lee Wong, 69, lifted up his shirt, exposing the scars on his chest from combat, and said, “I’ll show you what patriotism looks like.”
Wong won’t tolerate discrimination or racism, he said during a board meeting where he talked about his journey of immigrating to the United States as an 18-year-old. He described an incident in which he was beaten up in Chicago that he said was over his race.
He took the fight to court, but nothing ever happened to the perpetrators, Wong said.

Wong, who served 20 years in the military, talked about the scars on his chest while taking off his tie and removing his shirt.
“People question my patriotism, that I don’t look American enough,” Wong said. “They could not get over this face.”
