Discrimination and Racism Against the Asian-American Community

Abstract

This research discusses the discrimination and racism experienced by the Asian-American community. Through Wright & Rogers (2011) and Romero (2014) race and ethnicity studies, this research highlights discriminatory issues that occurred during the migration of Asians to America until the Covid-19 pandemic which further exacerbated stereotypes and prejudices against the Asian-American community. This study presents data on incidents of violence, discrimination, and racism affecting the Asian-American community. The Stop Asian Hate movement, which represents public protests and government actions in addressing this racial issue, serves as a follow-up effort to combat racism occurring in America.
