Racism is certainly not new, but data has shown a spike in racism toward America’s Asian and Asian American community over the past year, with the first spike occurring in March and April of 2020, right around the time when the COVID-19 pandemic began to encompass our lives. The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism observed sixteen large cities in the U.S. and concluded that despite hate crimes decreasing by 7% overall in 2020, hate crimes against Asian people in particular increased by almost 150% in that same year. New York City and Los Angeles proved to be the cities with the most hate crimes against Asians—with anti-Asian hate crimes increasing by 833% from 2019 to 2020 in New York City specifically. Even here in Boston, these crimes increased from 6% to 14% in that same time period.
