Stop Asian Hate
In the face of tragedy, humans end up owing each other solidarity
In the face of tragedy, humans end up owing each other solidarity
As we continue to fight for Black lives, another group has been seeing an increase in racist and xenophobic assaults. We saw an increase in hate crimes against Asian people after Donald Trump and others began referring to the coronavirus as the “Chinese virus” or “china flu.” Over 2,808 firsthand reports of anti-Asian hatred were received by one organization alone.
Today’s young generation need to learn be able to engage in communication with people from a wide range of different cultures and traditions…

Since COVID-19 became news in the United States, hate speech and violence against the AAPI community has run rampant. In February 2021, attacks, particularly on elderly Asian Americans, have spiked. Unfortunately, many of these incidents are not being reported and are invisible to major media outlets.
As discrimination, harassment, and hate crimes targeting the Asian American community continue to surge amid the COVID-19 pandemic, On March 16, Robert Aaron Long shot eight people, six of whom were Asian women, in several Atlanta-area spas. The violent string of events occurred in the wake of nearly 3,800 hate incidents against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders that were documented by the Stop AAPI Hate Reporting Center in the last year, in addition to countless other racially motivated attacks that have gone unreported.
When it comes to Asian culture and the world of discrimination, the only thing that matters is that “Life is a matter” in the name of Humanity. Accepting others despite their religions, beliefs, shapes and colors…etc. is a matter of lifestyle. Finally, we all have the same blood color.
Why should we discuss this in the twenty-first century?
And there is a significant problem in the world.
Since there is a major issue with other people’s backgrounds, hatred is built into the environment in such a way that people can ingest it more easily. When we open our eyes to the world, we receive love. However, prejudice and sexism are ingrained in our society. It’s entirely up to you whether you agree or refuse in any way.
The virus is not Asian
Ignoring the fact that the devil is watching our every step. Planting hatred here and there, enforcing their laws against all forms of life, so that we can behave like mindless robots.
Asian Americans, including African Americans, have a long history of prejudice. Asian americans are known for sitting on the sidelines and remaining silent, but there is always a space for silence. It’s also realized by talking to others and hearing from those who want to be heard in order to intelligently figure out a way that lead to a solution.
Starting mostly with education, The more children understand the differences that exist across the world, in various countries and cultures, the easier it would be for them to recognize that the child sitting next to them is not really that different from them. It is preferable to foster an appreciation of the woes by ensuring that children do not harass the person sitting next to them in class.
The future belongs to coming generations, not us.
Because we now live in such a globalised world, our mission should be to ensure that every young person feels more confident and capable of living.
What we can do is to leave a positive impact somewhere to reduce the risk of hatred as well as to create a new life centered on justice and fairness. We will achieve love hand in hand, step by step, in global solidarity with all people committed to lasting peace full justice.
