Almost six in 10 Asian Americans reported they have faced discrimination because of their race or ethnicity, and 63% said they felt not enough attention was given to anti-Asian discrimination, according to a new Pew Research Center survey released Thursday.
"For many Asian Americans, discrimination experiences are not just single events, but instead come in several often-overlapping forms," the report said.
Seventy-eight percent of Asian American adults said they've been treated as a foreigner, even if they were born in the U.S., including having their names mispronounced, being told to go back to their country, being scorned for speaking a language other than English and facing assumptions that they can't speak English.

And we know who commit most of the hate crimes against them.
--- Oh yeah? Who do you think that is who is perpetrating them? I think I have an idea based on your other posts...and if you were going to say black people you're wrong.
2021 analysis by Janelle Wong, a professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park that drew on previously published studies on anti-Asian bias found that " official crime statistics and other studies revealed more than three-quarters of offenders of anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents, from both before and during the pandemic, have been white, contrary to many of the images circulating online."

The idea that black people "hate" Asians is a racist trope that has long been false but continuously perpetrated by white supremacists - or white supermacist lite - ideologies.
"A misread of a frequently cited study from this year, published in the American Journal of Criminal Justice, likely contributed to the spread of erroneous narratives, Wong said. The study, which examined hate crime data from 1992 to 2014, found that compared to anti-Black and anti-Latino hate crimes, a higher proportion of perpetrators of anti-Asian hate crimes were people of color. Still, 75 percent of perpetrators were white."
