'Not going away': More than 9K anti-Asian hate incidents since COVID pandemic began, report says

Several factors contributed to the data, from an increase in incidents to a greater desire to report, Kulkarni told the Associated Press. As the economy opened up more in the past few months, it meant more public interactions and opportunities to attack, she said.

But "It's not going to be likely to decrease any time soon unless we are very vigilant about it," Van Tran, an associate professor of sociology who studies the experience of Asian Americans at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York, told .

Stop picking on the Asians ...they haven't hurt YOU

The Asian American community is admired by 99% of the American population. Don't let the few liberal, racist crazies set the narrative.

Haters are barking against the wrong tree. Stop hatred against innocent people. If you want to hate, identify the masterminds, the makers of the virus, IF you can.

Go back home

More racism BS….if the media would quit talking about it! 💥💥💥🤣🤣🤣🧠🧠🧠🤔🐿🐿🐿

Absolutely!!!! Black on Asian crime is a horrific tragedy

Any race could be or was the victim, are you happy with the hatred against Asians?

When are people going grow up and stop acting like fools?

And what group attacks them?
