Survey: Nearly 1 in 3 Asian Americans fear threats, physical attacks amid ongoing COVID-19 pandemic By Catherine Park The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act aims at reducing anti-Asian violence in the U.S. Amid an increase in Asian hate-related crimes, nearly one-third of Asian Americans surveyed fear someone might threaten or physically attack them due to their race or ethnicity, according to a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. Between April 5-11, Pew surveyed approximately 5,109 U.S. adults, 352 of whom were of Asian descent. Of the 352 people who were Asian, approximately 45% said they have experienced someone threatening or physically attacking them; a person acting uncomfortable while around them; someone subjecting them to a racial slur or joke; someone saying they need to go back to their home country or blaming them for the COVID-19 pandemic.
