鈥淪ince the start of the听COVID-19听pandemic, Asian Americans have faced a tsunami of anti-Asian racism and hate incidents, fueled by rhetoric from听prominent national politicians,鈥� Huang says, adding that the organization鈥�Stop AAPI Hate has documented more than 10,300 anti-Asian hate incidents since the start of the pandemic. 鈥淣early one in five Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have experienced a hate incident in the past year. When a federal bill鈥痠ntended to counter a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes was passed in May 2021,鈥�164 GOP members of Congress听voted against it.听This project proposes to expose the realities of anti-Asian American racism that have been neglected and ignored for over a century and a half.鈥�听
