US President Joe Biden, in Atlanta Friday to console the Asian-American community following a series of grisly killings, told citizens not to be complicit and to take action to prevent race-related violence. "Silence is complicity, we cannot be complicit. We have to speak out, we have to act," Biden said in a speech at Emory University urging Americans to fight what he called a "resurgence of xenophobia." Minutes earlier the president and Vice President Kamala Harris met leaders of Georgia's Asian-American community in the wake of eight people, including six women of Asian descent, being shot dead at massage parlors in the Atlanta area. mlm/ft
