COVID case numbers are falling across the country, but recent hate crimes against Asian Americans suggest that anti-Asian bias, which spiked during the pandemic, isn’t on the wane.

In early February, an Asian American grandmother was assaulted and robbed in San Jose, one of several hate crimes that took place there just before Lunar New Year. In New York, an assailant slashed a Filipino man in the face with a box cutter, and someone punched two elderly Asian women in separate incidents on the New York City subway.
