edited by harvi karatha, parker mcelroy, neve walker, & myint myat theingi Due to the fact that the statement about COVID-19 originated from China, hate crimes against Asian people have increased dramatically, especially in bigger cities such as NYC and LA. Out of 3,800 attacks on AAPI (AsianAmericans and Pacific Islanders), 2,600 were Asian hate crimes. Out of those 2,600, 126 of those incidents were against defenseless Asian women over 60 years old who could barely speak English. Based on the AntiDefamation League's most recent annual survey, Asian-Americans have suffered the largest spike of harassment and hate online. Some experts believe that Donald Trump’s irresponsible remarks such as calling COVID-19 the “China virus” and “Kung Flu” fueled much of the hatred against the Asian community. These hate crimes brought horror to AsianAmericans across the United States. Akin to what the police do with most hate crimes, they ignored this serious issue.

One of the more memorable hate crimes is the Georgia shooting of six women. During the March 16th in Atlanta, Georgia shooting, six out of eight people were shot at a massage parlor, and 8 of them were of Asian descent. Robert Aarong Long, a white American man, fatally shot eight AsianAmericans at three different massage shops. Although Long claims that his crimes were not racially motivated, many believe this mass shooting is once again of another hate crime. Since the Georgia shooting, more hate crimes have occurred across the United States. A 75-year-old woman was brutally assaulted in San Francisco. On March 21st, three different assaults took place in New York City; a 54-year-old woman was beaten, and two women were assaulted while on their way to an antiAsian violence protest.
