Asian Americans have always faced hate. The pandemic amplified it
CNN
A cardiologist at a grocery store almost had her mask ripped off. A young man was verbally accosted, and his White friend didn't notice. A retired woman was called a racial slur and blocked from exiting a parking lot.
These are some examples of hostility that Asian Americans have faced in the last year. While this hatred directed at the Asian community is anything but new, animosity toward the group has grown in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Last March, then-President Donald Trump referred to the coronavirus as "the Chinese virus" -- subsequently, many Asian Americans said they were blamed for bringing Covid-19 to the US. Asian American businesses that were already devastated by the hardship of the pandemic took a second financial hit due to the discrimination they experienced.
