In a new report, the advocacy group Stop AAPI Hate finds of the tens of thousands of hate incidents recorded during the pandemic, 20% of them involved racial scapegoating of Asians and Asian Americans.Cyntha Choi, the group’s co-founder, says scapegoating"simply happens when a group is unfairly blamed for current events — whether it’s something like the pandemic or downturn in the economy.
"As of 2022, 21% of Americans of all backgrounds believed that Asian Americans are at least partly responsible for COVID-19 — almost twice as many as those surveyed the previous year." The reports also says that more than 2,100 incidents in its dataset"invoke language that blames Asian and Asian American community members for COVID-19, with some accompanied by threats of violence."The group is trying to"spotlight and call out harm that irresponsible scapegoating rhetoric used by politicians during election season can cause to Asian and Asian-American communities," Choi said.
