Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, North America has witnessed an increase in hate crimes against Asian-Americans. NPR observed that these racially motivated attacks, or “COVID-19 hate crimes,” were disproportionately targeted towards Asian women and Asian seniors. Let me repeat that, hate crimes against Asians were up 150%. Reuters featured a report by the US Department of Justice, which stated that 82% of people suspected of hate crimes between 2004 and 2019 were not prosecuted. The conversation, for a greater part of the year, was about race-based hate crimes against the Asian community.
