A new survey found that a majority of Americans are largely unfamiliar with key events that happened in the history of the country involving people of Asian descent.
A recent research report published by Lyft reveals that rideshare drivers who identify as Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI), Hispanic or Black are more likely to receive speeding tickets than white drivers. The report: According to the study, AAPI, Hispanic and Black drivers are 24% to 33% more likely to be stopped for speeding and pay 23% to 34% more in fines, even when driving at the exact same speeds as white drivers in Florida. The research sheds light on racial disparities in law enforcement practices, highlighting that people of color face a higher likelihood of being targeted for traffic violations.
About half of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in the United States believe the country is giving too much support of Israelis and not enough for Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, according to a poll that shows those views are dominant among young adults. A recent poll from AAPI Data and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that 49% of AAPI adults say the U.S. is “not supportive enough” of the Palestinians — significantly higher than the 36% of all U.S. adults who said that in a recent AP-NORC poll — and a similar percentage says the U.S. is “too supportive” of Israelis.
