The Anti-Asian Heat Situation Under the Pandemic
Abstract
According to Pew Research Lab (Edwards, Lopez & Ruiz, April 21, 2021), about a third of Asian-Americans have manifested anxiety of physical aggression, threats and many argue that ferocity against them is upsurging. Some Asian participants reported that vehemence against their ethnic group in the United States is rising, and they gave some of the underlying reasons for the increment of such discrimination. It was conferring to an open-ended questionnaire where several partakers were involved in responding to personal perception. About 20 percent blamed the former President, Donald Trump, based on his past pomposity arguments concerning the virus's origin. Though China specifically was the source of the Covid-19 epidemic. Trump's chauvinistic comments by branding the coronavirus 2019 realized the "Chinese flu" as one of the causes of the increase in ferocity.
Correspondingly, one of the actions that can propose against racial aggression and ferocity against Asians and any other marginalized group is to volunteer in community service to support fellow protestors (Chiang, 2020). The volunteer support can either be in the form of materials or physically participating in the group protest against racism. Consequently, protesting against racism will normalize discrimination, and the majority White shall realize the relevance of equality (Haavisto, 2019). The pro-racists will, thus, view each American as a significant contributor to society and nation-building. Therefore, the life post-pandemic life will demonstrate the need for national reconciliation and cohesion instead of discrimination against other ethnic groups. Also, the plague manifested numerous weaknesses in the economy and emerging technologies. Hence, the post-pandemic life should be embraced and appreciated by humanity, including the sole reason for participation in civilization.
Introduction
Since the Coronavirus 2019, people of Asian origin have faced several allegations and have been blamed for the invasion of the deadly disease. Amid extensive discoveries of aggression and prejudice against Americans of Asian ancestry under the heat of the Covid-19 eruption, approximately 32 percent of Asian grown-ups admitted that they were anxious that an individual would attack them. The form of aggression has been thought to be either physically or threaten—a higher proportion than other ethnic or racial subsections in the United States (Edwards, Lopez & Ruiz, April 21, 2021). Some cited many reasons backing the rise in fierceness against Asian persons in the United States. A respondent reported that the four-year term of Trump's regime had stabilized aggression and racism. However, Trump's repeated instance of censuring Asians for the Covid-19 pandemic has permitted various groups to victimize Asians amenably.
Thus, individuals can acquire the best skills on how to be anti-racist in society actively. An example of the ways is combating micro-hostilities and threats in the workplace. The government can also encourage learning institutions to embrace diversity by integrating it into the curriculum. Members of the society can as well utilize digital platforms like Facebook or Twitter to promote anti-racism. Parents similarly can play an active role in enhancing peace by educating their children regarding the negative impacts of racism and eradicating it from our backyards. However, the battle against racism contributes immensely to creating a peaceful environment conducive to socio-economic growth. Therefore, this literature intends to clarify some of the discoveries based on the anti-Asian heat situation during the pandemic--contributors and the impacts of such action. The paper shall also touch on the best approaches against racism, including its significance in society.
Literature Review
There is a serious concern on how anti-Asian aggression has endured for the past months since the outbreak of the Covid-19. Unfortunately, the massive mainstream of Asian grown-ups, about 81 percent, similarly reported that ferocity in contradiction of them is surging, far exceptional the proportion of entire American senior citizens of 56 percent who admit a similar scenario, as per the records of Pew Research Center study. A Pew Research Center investigation participant once mentioned that Asian-Americans are being blamed for the pandemic, with the irrational judgment that they brought the virus to the United States (Edwards, Lopez & Ruiz, April 21, 2021). Also, a third participant cited that the conglomeration of the Covid-19 reports and its sources in China tied with discussions concerning racial disparity. However, currently, Asians are never acknowledged as Black people since they are viewed as the classical marginal group, though similarly are visualized as foreign while considering that people of Asian ancestry do not belong in the White category.
Moreover, the Federal Bureau of Investigation once warned that there might be emerging abhorrence crimes against Asian-Americans at the beginning of the pandemic. Fortunately, the expected hate aggressions rose massively and surpassing ever recorded data before the pandemic. Coincidentally, an old Asian (Thai) immigrant died after facing extreme aggression by being pushed to the ground (Cabral, May 21, 2021). There have also been several incidences of violence against people of Asian origin under the heat of the pandemic. In another incident, a Chinese female was slapped and later burnt mercilessly. About eight individuals of Asian ancestry were murdered in a gunshot rampage crosswise three Asian sanatoria in a night. Such incidences happened in just a year since the outburst of the coronavirus. Besides, there have been numerous reports solely based on anti-Asian heat during the plague. The mortality cases have been discovered to be caused by various forms of hostility, from verbal harassment and spatting to violent and physical at...
