Asian American Violence during the pandemic in America
The beginning of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic in the United States in early 2020 led to a rise in risks related to Asian Americans on hate crimes and business vandalism. There have been microaggressions and negative biases against Asian Americans on a large scale. The coronavirus highly relates to China in terms of origin and coverage. People have constantly treated Asian Americans and Chinese as the physical embodiment of the disease and foreignness. Historically the Asian Americans have been viewed as foreign in the United States, making it easy for other people to give such treatment (Jeung & Nham 20). The United States media coverage put high focus on hygiene standards in food markets in Wuhan and consumption of wild animals as potential causes of coronavirus. This bias facing Asian Americans is regardless of the generational status and ethnicity of these people. Their status is possibly at its worst in the wake of this virus and is said to lead to the re-emergence of the active identity of pan-ethnic Asian Americans.
Hate crimes during the pandemic
There were about 1.8 million people who tested positive for the coronavirus until May 2020 in the United States. The numbers soared quickly as the days and months passed. Researchers traced reports of these cases to the travelers traveling from Europe and adding those who traveled within the United States. However, this has not stopped a percentage of the general public from mistreating Asian Americans on suspicion of disease carriers (Lu et al. 10). The American society has brought out its perceived negativity which was prevalent towards the Asian Americans. There is a risk in the mental health, victimization, and safety of these people on top of the covid 19 exposure. They may end up being too anxious, sparking an uproar fighting for various rights. A higher percentage of the American population has faced restrictions, with some states ordering stay-at-home orders in the event of the virus. Businesses have ended up shut and striking financial hardships coming up with over 30 million citizens filing for unemployment. Due to the nature of the foreignness of the virus, some people have expressed feelings through prejudice, violence, and xenophobia toward African Americans. Reports indicate a full month of about 1500 alleged occurrences based on the bias towards Asians (Jeung & Nham 20).
Reports of bias accidents and hate crimes
Reports of physical assaults have been on the rise against the ethically Asian and Asian Americans related to coronavirus. The majority of people in America are sheltering in place, but this has not stopped, for 80% of anti-Asian cases being outside private residences of people. Other places included grocery stores, public places, and local businesses (Jeung & Nham 2). America has come to the spotlight as a post-racial society and placing Asians outside the citizenship and whiteness of American citizenship. A Burmese- American family was one of the incidents under investigation for attempted murder in Midland, Texas (Yam 2). The suspect is said to have “thought” the Chinese family was infecting people with coronavirus. He ended up stabbing a father, a two-year-old child, and a four-year-old girl. Attacks have varied from using an acid, umbrella, and a log (Kang 2). It may be quite likely that some of the cases have gone unreported on the fear of concern about legal processes. Asian businesses have felt the pain with constant reports of malicious property damage and vandalism. Graffiti has been drawn on Asian restaurants, with some displaying information like “stop eating dogs” documented. This displays a worrying perception and associations related to businesses owned by the Asians.
Verbal harassment has also been experienced on a large scale, with some being spat and coughed on (Lu et al. 5). This hateful language and actions demonstrate the racialization the Asian Americans are facing daily.
Positionality of the Asian Americans
White supremacy legacy often equates bodies of whites with innocence and purity while others are viewed as dangerous, uncivilized, and unclean. The yellow peril which led to the burning of Chinatown has continued through 20th and 21st-century embodying Asian immigrants as disease spreaders. The occurrence of the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in 2003 focused on Chinatown as the center for the spread. Elevated risk accompanying blame and fear is not limited to disease only but even downturns economically. The Sikhs were targeted, third and second-generation Americans, Greek and Lebanese in cases of violence and hatred of the perceived enemy. An Indian immigrant was falsely accused of being an Iranian terrorist and was told” get out of my country” before he was shot to death (Fuchs 1). This represents the perceptions of people who are racialized to incidences and threats of violence. All the factors raised against the Asian Americans are just a way for the people to blame their fear on illness, stay-at-home orders, and economic insecurity faced during the covid 19 crisis.
Fear of mental health
The public health and economic crisis facing Asians have raised concerns about the safety of the citizens. Some Asians have tried to distinguish themselves as Americans and hidden their Asian identity to run from crime attacks (Lu et al. 5). This does not vary their position in the covid 19 pandemic. Despite the disease being a threat to Asian Americans and all Americans as well, a burden of insecurity and vulnerability has been added to these people. Major incidents occurring are in the metropolitan areas, and increased anxiety is being faced in addition to the risk of illness of these people.
Need for Action Plan
All individuals and human rights groups require that the governments in the states integrate faster decision-making procedures to enact policies and laws to prevent discrimination and violence that targets the Asians in the society (Kang 11). This has been linked with COVID 19, with the majority of racial attacks proving to target individuals from racial minority groups. The United Nations have supported this argument, with the Secretary-General claiming that the pandemic has continued to unleash tsunamis of xenophobia and hate among crowds, with the need for the government to act now to strengthen protection and immunity for the minority societies. It is also unfortunate that some of the senior officials and government leaders have directly and indirectly influenced the hate crimes, xenophobia, and racism using rhetoric that is anti-Chinese. Again, countries including France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, and Germany continues to latch into advancing xenophobic conspiracy theories, anti-migrant issues, ultra-nationalist, and anti-semitic, white supremacist, and anti-immigration discriminating policies that have been facilitated by individuals, foreigners, and political leaders that demonize refugees and Asians in the nation.
It is unfortunate that a third of Asian Americans claim that they feel that their life is under threat given the fears of attacks, both physically, emotionally, and materially, with the rates of violence rising significantly during the pandemic. Eight in ten Asian Americans explain that they fear that they might be attacked given the increased threats towards people of their racial and ethnic groups.
Action Plan against Hate Crimes
Scholars and activists have explained the need to ensure that nations and departments integrate programs that uphold the self-awareness requiring all individuals across the United States to stress the upholding of expression and opinion rights based on the rule of democracy, law, and human rights. Any hate speech related to COVID 19 should also be prevented and stopped at all times, with the victims being provided the support needed to improve their confidence and respect. It is also the responsibility of the government to always analyze the data, information, and trends related to COVID 19 hate speech, guaranteeing that effective measures are integrated to curb the problem both in the short term and long term. Relevant factors must be integrated into this procedure to ensure that the society becomes civil, upholding respect and dignity at national and global levels in the society (Lu et al. 5).
To the member states, the U.S. Government seeks to build trust and integrate positive measures with Asian Americans, guaranteeing their total protection in the society. In this case, laws articulated to promote peace and human rights during the pandemic should be integrated, with social coherence crisis communication tactics being integrated to ensure the community’s resilience. It is important for the public to always ensure that they avoid any form of hate speech again Asian Americans in the society, ensuring that every community is protected amid the crisis, no group is attributed to the spread of emergence of the virus in the nation, promote the inclusion of all groups and cultures in the society to prevent COVID 19 (Kang 1). The government also advocates for international human rights standards in the provision of public health and other services in the United States, proving the need to always protect the health and wellness of individuals. Whistleblowers must have raised alarms to ensure that the government is able to curb all intimidations, harassments, and civil penalties targeting minority groups in society before they escalate to uncontrollable moments.
Conclusion
Influential leaders, including activists, politicians, and federal agents, should ensure that they increase security as well as guarantee the wellness of all Asian Americans in the United States. all cases of attacks should be reported and followed up effectively with the individuals involved being liable for their mistakes. All government, non-governmental, and religious leaders must also play critical roles in being positive public leaders, speaking actively against the racially discriminatory practices against Asian Americans in society. The main aim is t ensure that they amplify messages that reduce stigmatization and discrimination of Asian Americans in society. Through this analysis, it is evident that the COVID19 pandemic has influenced much global hate speech targeting minority populations. It is the role of the nations at national and global levels to ensure that they introduce the short-term and long-term strategies to curb these negative effects of COVID 29 in society. This is possible through the promotion of solidarity, inclusion, and common humanity in everyday disciplines as well as in life.
