Incidents of attacks against ethnic Asians in the US are common. Asian Americans have been the target of several unprovoked attacks.

A study by the Center for the Study of Hate in Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino, examining police data from 16 jurisdictions across the United States, found a 164 percent increase in reports of anti-Asian hate crimes in the first quarter of 2021 compared with the same period last year. .

Experts point to a number of factors behind the spike, including the use of stigmatized language such as “Kung flu” and “Chinese virus” during the pandemic. According to the report in March 2020, former US President Donald Trump tweeted the phrase “China virus” more than 20 times.
