It has been over a month since 21-year-old white American Robert Aaron Long shot dead eight people at three massage parlours in Cherokee County and Atlanta city on March 16, 2021. Six of them were women of Asian descent but despite Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms stating that the mass shooting should be seen as a hate crime, Long has not been charged with this yet.
The Atlanta incident brought world attention to the xenophobic attacks Asians in America have been facing, both verbal and physical, ever since the coronavirus pandemic started. Studies have indicated that attacks on Asians were significantly higher in 2020 than in 2019, aggravated by the repeated use of “China virus” and “Kung Flu” by former US President Donald Trump and his right-wing supporters.
