As a member of the AAPI community, I've witnessed a unique storm brewing around our physical safety and mental health, driven by years of rising anti-AAPI sentiment.
Stop AAPI Hate reported an estimated 11,500 hate crimes against us between 2020 and 2022, and nearly one in three Asian Americans experienced racial slurs in the past year.
The fear mongering, exacerbated by political rhetoric, has driven many Asian Americans to change their daily routines out of concern for personal safety in public spaces.
The current political environment not only fuels hate crimes but also heightens workplace tensions, making equitable rights even more complex for the AAPI community to navigate.
