Anti-Asian Hate: A Rising Threat in the United States
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in hate crimes targeting Asian Americans,
particularly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Anti-Asian hate has resurfaced as a critical
social issue, deeply affecting the daily lives and health of individuals within this community.
Although racial discrimination against Asian Americans is not new, the pandemic has reignited
prejudices, leading to a surge in violent attacks and discrimination. This milestone explores the
impact of anti-Asian hate, identifying the groups most affected, public perceptions, ongoing
debates, and a brief history of how this issue has evolved.
The resurgence of anti-Asian hate has far-reaching consequences, particularly on the mental and
physical health of Asian Americans. A 2022 Pew Research Center study reveals that nearly one-
third of Asian Americans have changed their daily routines due to concerns over potential threats
or attacks (Blazina, 2022). This statistic highlights the pervasive fear that has taken root within
the community. Beyond the physical attacks, the psychological toll of this racism has become
evident. A report from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), emphasizes that
older Asian Americans in San Francisco have experienced a decline in health outcomes due to
heightened stress and fear. As the UCSF study reports, "Asian seniors who already faced barriers
to healthcare access are now grappling with increased anxiety and social isolation, both of which
are directly linked to the fear of racially motivated attacks" (UCSF, 2024, p. 2). This
demonstrates how discrimination, beyond its immediate physical effects, has lasting
repercussions on mental health and well-being.
