If you're a sexist internet troll, Celeste Ng might tell your mom Nov 13, 2018 at 4:20 pm

Many of us use social media in our personal and professional lives, but did you know that online harassment is on the rise?

That’s according to studies done by Pew Research Center in 2014 and 2017. Bet you can’t guess who gets more online harassment targeted around their identities... (...if you guessed women, LGBTQIA+ folks, and people of color, then you're right.)

These online harassers don’t just make physical threats. They often use their target’s race and gender to make their comments specific and especially ugly. Bestselling author Celeste Ng (Everything I Never Told You, Little Fires Everywhere) knows this well. Over the past four years, she’s been subjected online harassment related to being an Asian-American woman who married a non-Asian man.
