Survey data, different from law enforcement- show from 2021 AAPIData/SurveyMonkey show that 27% of Asian American reported ever experiencing a hate crime or hate incident. Meanwhile, 34% of Black, 27% of Latinx, 25% of Native American and 24% of PI respondents say the same
Over the course of the pandemic, 7% of people reporting to StopAAPIHate were over age 60. The Virulent Hate Project at the University of Michigan shows that about 3% of Asian American victims identified in news coverage were seniors.
All racial groups are uncomfortable reporting a hate crime to law enforcement, with Asian Americans more uncomfortable with reporting
75% of offenders anti-Asian hate crimes and hate incidents identified as white, though data are often missing; Critical to contextualize social media/crime news coverage of such incidents- research shows that the both overreport and overrepresent Black suspects.
@ProfJanelleWong Highly misleading claim. Look at the data, which show that the perpetrators are DISPROPORTIONATELY black. Note too that media coverage tends to focus on the violent crimes, as they should. A white teenage who speaks an epithet is hurtful, yes, but not like physical assault. 1/
@matloff @ProfJanelleWong Is there any other way I can see the figures from 2019? I can't read the full wsj article without subscribing.
@BobasoyNPC @ProfJanelleWong Yes will post when I get to a computer.
@BobasoyNPC @ProfJanelleWong WSJ, 4/5/21, USDOJ data: "of those committing violence against Asians...24 percent such attacks are committed by whites; 24 percent are committed by fellow Asians, 7 percent by Hispanics; and 27.5 percent by African-Americans."
@keelo_z @matloff @ProfJanelleWong Wow this was old, I did see this back then, the biggest frustration is the data on the race of the perpetrator was often missing and the data wasn't granular and didn't seperate physical attacks and other forms of harassment
