Asian Americans are adjusting to a new long-term reality as the number of anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents across the U.S. continue to climb.<\/p>\n
The big picture:<\/strong> The anti-Asian hate crisis has given AAPIs new visibility, but the harassment and violence haven't abated. The share of Americans who wrongly blame COVID on people of Asian descent grew between 2021 and 2022, fueling anxiety about sustained attacks as the world navigates the third year of the pandemic.<\/p>\n By the numbers:<\/strong> Between March 2020 and March 2022, Stop AAPI Hate documented over 11,400 self-reported anti-AAPI hate incidents, according to its latest report released Wednesday.<\/p>\n Context: <\/strong>Though the majority of these incidents do not constitute hate crimes and would not be investigated or prosecuted as such, they cause "significant fear and trauma," according to Stop AAPI Hate, which was founded in response to the surge in violence.<\/p>\n What they're saying: <\/strong>The latest report "reflects what is the new reality for AAPIs, that hate was not simply short-term or related only to COVID," Manjusha Kulkarni, co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate and executive director of AAPI Equity Alliance, told Axios.<\/p>\n Worth noting: <\/strong>Several states have enacted bills mandating AAPI history in schools as part of an effort to combat ignorance and hate. Some have also set aside funding for AAPI-serving organizations.<\/p>\n Go deeper: <\/strong>Asian American-led Unity March a reminder of community\u2019s history of activism<\/p>\n\n
