“Even as people move on past the COVID-19 pandemic, AAPIs continue to be harassed because of their race,” said Manjusha Kulkarni, co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate and executive director of AAPI Equity Alliance, adding, “The AAPI community is tired of being afraid. We want solutions that actually make a difference and focus on prevention.”
Such solutions, Kulkarni added, should address the systemic root causes of hate against AAPI communities.
The report displays that increased education, community-based solutions, civil rights legislation and enforcement, and increased law enforcement were among the most effective methods of reducing anti-AAPI hate, according to the Stop AAPI Hate’s data.
