It’s been two years since the Atlanta spa massacre. Has America learned anything about stopping Asian hate? (SF Chronicle)

The data says no. The advocacy group Stop AAPI Hate began tracking incidents in March 2020, and through March 2022 it received 11,500 self-reports of harassment and physical attacks. The reports are still coming in (Stop AAPI Hate hasn’t done a tally for 2023), and the group’s website became a place where people could convey “their everyday experiences with racism,” Cynthia Choi, one of the co-founders of Stop AAPI Hate, told the Editorial Board. The continued volume of incidents shows the problem remains “pervasive” and “systemic,” she said.
