I am an East Asian individual who has experienced racism firsthand, especially during the heightened tensions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. It's a painful experience, one that should never be condoned or accepted as ok. Recently a clip targeting Asians during a time when the community was already under attack has resurfaced and it’s disgusting.

Racism, in any form, is unacceptable and should never be tolerated, especially from public figures who have a platform.By allowing Nic to remain on Love Island, the producers are condoning his actions, sending a message that such behavior is acceptable. It's essential to hold him accountable for his words and actions, regardless of how long ago it as.

Racist attitudes have real-world consequences, allowing or even encouraging an environment of hatred and intolerance. The spike in anti-Asian hate during the pandemic had devastating effects and should never have been allowed to happen.

Urge the producers of Love Island to take a stand against racism and demonstrate a commitment to fostering a community of equality and respect. By removing Nic from the show, they have the opportunity to send a powerful message against racism, showing viewers that discriminatory behavior has no place in our society.

If Cierra can get kicked off for being racist, so can Nic. Join me in signing this to make a change.
