Stop AAPI Hate found verbal harassment was the most common, making up 63% of the incidents reported to the coalition. Physical assault was the second most reported incident at 16.2%, followed by deliberate avoidance of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders at 16.1%. The coalition also found that hate incidents reported by women made up 61.8% of the reports collected.
In the first three months of 2022, more than one in 12 Asian Americans experienced a hate crime or incident of hate, according to a survey from AAPI Data, a nationally recognized organization publishing demographic data and policy research on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
AAPI Data noted an increasing trend of hate against Asian Americans from 2020 to 2021. Whereas one in eight Asian Americans surveyed in 2020 said they’d experienced a hate crime or incident of hate in 2020, that number climbed to one in six in 2021.
