Confronting anti-Asian hate after Indiana student attacked for being ‘Chinese’
Recent cases of anti-Asian hate raise the question of what more can be done to combat racist, violent incidents.
An Asian American student was stabbed multiple times in the head while waiting to get off a bus at Indiana University. The attack has yet to be called a hate crime, though the attacker reportedly targeted the victim because she was “Chinese.” It’s clear that anti-Asian violence continues even past the surge the U.S. saw in 2020. But what more needs to be done?
Reset discusses with a panel of Asian American activists and community members.
