Bias Against Asians

Responding to a Rise in Asian Hate and Prejudice

In the past year, the entire country has seen a dramatic spike in racist rhetoric towards Asian Americans. Anti-Asian hate increased by 150% nationwide, with areas like New York City and Los Angeles seeing even greater numbers. Unfortunately this is not new,  times of fear and anxiety can bring out the worst in people and our Asian community has been the victim of that fear and hate several times in U.S. history.
