Though the nation developed and highly educated, United
States of America is suffering with common ills like color, racism and ethnicity.
Entire world see attacks on black in the country. #Blacklivesmatter moment is
one of the causes that Donald Trump lost the election. Nearly 65% of anti-Asian
hate crimes takes place in Unites States of America in 12 months period between
March 2020 and March 2021. These attacks have increased after the eruption of
pandemic virus.
Women
reported 64.8% of the incidents reported to Stop AAPI Hate, while men reported
29.8%. Most of the incidents took place at a business 32.2% or on a public
street or sidewalk, 29.4%. US President
Joe Biden propose bill to control the attacks on Asians. Covid-19 Hate Crimes
Act, will create a new position at the Justice Department to expedite review of
potential Covid-19-related hate crimes and incidents reported at the federal,
state or local level. Biden signed on the bill to become law which aims to curb
violent acts against Asian Americans.This law is great sigh of relief to Asian American community
which strongly believed the victims were targeted because of race and gender. Asians
who are living in New York are learning self-defence skills to protect
themselves from attacks. It was surprised that many elder people from Asia have
signed up for these classes. President Biden wants to implement the new law by
May 25th which is the first anniversary of George Floyd’s death.
