Reports of anti-Asian incidents experienced continue to surge in recent months; over roughly 15 months during the pandemic, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders reported more than 9,081 incidents of anti-Asian bias, according to Stop AAPI Hate.
Ryan Lee demonstrates at the 'Stop Asian Hate March and Rally' in Koreatown in Los Angeles, on March 27, 2021.Reports of anti-Asian incidents experienced a continued rise in recent months, new research shows.Thursday, revealing that over the course of roughly 15 months during the pandemic, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders reported more than 9,081 incidents. About one-fourth of those incidents were reported from April to June 2021, the report said.
Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder of AAPI Data, a policy and research nonprofit group, warned that while the increase in reports may appear significant, the uptick does not necessarily translate to the same percentage increase in actual incidents. While many Asian Americans have attributed the heightened anti-Asian bias to former President Donald Trump’s harmful rhetoric in the past, the report shows that anti-Asian bias is an enduring issue that continues to thrive under the Biden administration. Among the most concerning findings in the report, Jeung said, was the invocation of anti-China rhetoric. In more than 48 percent of all hate incidents, anti-China and/or anti-immigrant rhetoric was included in at least one hateful statement.
“It’s why we began to track red-baiting incidents: We are concerned about this yellow peril rhetoric, where China's sort of existential threat to the U.S.” Jeung said. “We want the administration to balance any statement against the Chinese government with pause to stop racism and also to address U.S.-China policies in a constructive way.”
