Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, hate crimes against Asian Americans in the United States have seen a significant increase. A CNN report from March 3 highlights that nearly 3,000 incidents have been recorded across all 50 states, according to an Asian advocacy group.
In light of these distressing statistics, U.S. vlogger Lao Zhang (John) has taken to his platform to address the rising tide of hostility faced by the Asian community. In his heartfelt video, John explores the underlying reasons behind these attacks and offers a sincere apology to those who have been affected by hate crimes.
The spike in hate crimes underscores the critical need for greater awareness, community support, and effective measures to ensure the safety and well-being of Asian Americans nationwide.
