Jordan Clarkson helps restore Pinoy food truck after being vandalized with anti-Asian hate messages

Filipino-American NBA player Jordan Clarkson is not just a reliable sixth man for his team Utah Jazz, but also for his fellow Filipinos in the United States.

On Thursday, Clarkson posted on his social media account a photo of a World Famous Yum Yum food truck vandalized with Anti-Asian messages. The said food truck serves Filipino and Asian food.

"It hurt me deeply to see that Salt Lake’s @yumyumasian food truck was recently vandalized – I know the pain that hateful language and racism causes," Clarkson said in a tweet.
