It’s true. We are all a little racist, have implicit bias, and have prejudice--whether we realize it or not. But that doesn’t mean we should perpetuate them. Since the pandemic, hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans have increased exponentially...but why? Did people suddenly become MORE racist? Racism has been embedded in US history for centuries. Racism has always existed and perhaps always will to a certain degree, but there are ways we can talk about it, educate one another, and stop the virus (hate) from spreading.

For more information on the hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans, if you'd like to make a financial contribution, or report an incident, please visit stopaapihate.org.
