New York, Oct 13 One in five incidents involve language scapegoating of Asian-Americans, including Ind, by wrongfully blaming them for Covid, espionage or economic insecurity, says a new report by Stop AAPI hate, a coalition that addresses anti-Asian and Pacific Islander hate.Coinciding with the US mid-term elections, the report, 'The Blame Game: How Political Rhetoric Inflames Anti-Asian Scapegoating', also found that "one in 10 tweets in 2020 by politic about Asian Americans included racist or stigmatizing language".Even as deaths and illness from Covid-19 recede, the number of reported hate incident cases has doubled to over 11,000 since 2020, including 2,250 in which Asian-Americans were scapegoated for the pandemic, the report said.A national survey by AAPI in March estimated at least three million AAPIs experienced hate incidents between March 2021 and March 2022."We found 95 incidents (4 per cent of all scapegoating incidents) where As or Asian-Americans are blamed for national security reasons, alleging that community members are spies on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.Second, we identified 15 incidents (1 per cent of all scapegoating incidents) where Asian Americans are blamed for being economic threats who take away jobs from "real" Americans," the report noted.The report further said that "racial scapegoating, the act of unfairly blaming communities of colour for societal problems, is a political strategy that has been used throughout our country's history, often at a heightened level around elections by candidates seeking to rile up voters".A third of the Senate, 33 members, and all of the House of Representatives, 435 members, will be contesting the mid-term elections on November 8."As we head toward the midterm elections, Stop AAPI Hate is deeply concerned about racial scapegoating of Asian-Americans," said co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate and executive director of AAPI Equity Alliance Manjusha Kulkarni."People of colour should be able to approach elections without fear that they will be targeted because candidates rely on drumming up fear and pointing blame to rile their base," Kulkarni said.Indian-Americans account for over 1 per cent of the country's population and have one of the highest per capita incomes among ethnic groups.While the community is concentrated in major areas like New York, New Jersey, California, and Texas, their votes might turn out to be decisive in case of close races in the states of Florida, Atlanta, and Pennsylvania.AAPI, or the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, communities consist of approximately 50 distinct ethnic groups with connections to Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, Hawaiian, and other Asian and Pacific Islander ancestries.Stop AAPI Hate tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the US.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
