released earlier this spring that it received more than 10,900 reports of anti-Asian hate incidents between mid-March 2020 and the end of 2021.
Even with the rise in reported incidents, LAAUNCH said its 2022 survey found about one in three Americans did not realize anti-Asian attacks were. Among survey respondents, 26 percent said they thought the volume of attacks had"stayed the same" over the last year, 5 percent believed the number of attacks"somewhat decreased" and 2 percent believed the number of attacks"extremely decreased.
Aside from respondents' perceptions about the pace of anti-Asian attacks, a majority of Americans—56 percent—said they"recognize that Asian Americans are being discriminated against." Seventy-two percent of respondents said anti-Asian racism in the U.S."is a problem that should be addressed." In the report's executive summary, LAAUNCH researchers wrote that blame for attacks targeting Asian Americans could"no longer" be placed"on"The root causes are deeper, systemic and tied to the xenophobia, fear, and 'othering' of Asian Americans, manifested in harmful stereotypes and misperceptions, that have persisted in our society since Asians first arrived in the U.S.," the survey said.
