摘要

Some people believe that former President Donald Trump introduced anti-Asian hate to the U.S. To be sure, Trump did instigate and exacerbate racial hatred and violence, especially with his racist rhetoric against China after his ineptitude at containing the COVID-19 pandemic was ex-posed. From March to December 2020, Stop AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Hate, a national coalition monitoring anti-Asian discrimination during the pandemic, reported that it had tracked about 3,800 hate crime incidents against Asians across the U.S., with many aimed at assaults on the elderly. So yes, Trump is to blame for that.
