Forty years after Vincent Chin, a Chinese American man, was scapegoated and beaten to death by two white men in Detroit who were angered over the loss of American jobs to Japanese companies during an economic downturn, hate incidents against Asian Americans continue to surge, a new study released Wednesday
found.
Between March 2020 and March 2022, more than 11,400 hate incidents against Asian Americans have been reported across the United States, according to a report by Stop AAPI Hate, a national coalition that tracks such incidents and advocates for combatting hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
The findings signaled a persistent rise in harassment, verbal abuse and hate speech that have plagued Asian communities since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2o21, the group
identified more than 9,000 hate incidents in the pandemic’s first year. A separate study by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism found that hate crimes against Asian Americans
rose 339% nationally between 2020 and 2021.
Two-thirds of the incidents reported to Stop AAPI Hate between March 2020 and 2022 involved some form of verbal or written harassment, and two in five incidents occurred in public spaces. Women were twice as likely to report hate incidents as men. Physical assaults accounted for 17% of incidents, and nearly one in 10 occurred on public transit.
A national survey conducted by Stop AAPI Hate and Edelman Data & Intelligence found that one in five Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders experienced a hate incident in the past two years. It also showed that those experiences led to a rise in fear around those incidents: nearly half of respondents reported feeling depression and anxiety.
California, which has the
largest population of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the country, accounted for the highest number of reported incidents, with more than 4,000, followed by New York and Washington state.
