The email was sent amidst rising anti-Asian sentiment in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic which had been the focus of national attention just months earlier when eight people, six of whom were Asian women, were killed in the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings. Some criticisms of Brady's email noted the simultaneous use of an anti-Asian slur and misogynistic term, pointing out that racism and sexism against Asian American women are often intertwined. Due to Brady's actions, activists and politicians are now calling on Brady to resign.
