Nevada Attorney General Speaks Out Against Anti-Asian Hate
Nevada’s top law enforcement official is weighing in on the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes.
Attorney General Aaron Ford joined leaders from the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities during a town hall Tuesday to condemn the recent spat of hate crimes. Ford said that discrimination against AAPI residents is not a new issue and often goes unreported.
“We’ve only had 3,800 some odd reports, but we know there are more out there, and the key is, again, talking about actions we can take to push back on AAPI hate, one of those actions is to report it. You have to speak up, Ford said.
