RACISM IN U.S. ANOTHER DANGER OF PANDEMIC

Sat 06 November 2021:

According to Professor Russell Jeung, from San Francisco State University, that COVID-19 is far from the only threat posed by the global pandemic to Asian Americans and Asian people in the United States.

Speaking at the University of Wisconsin-Diversity Madison’s Forum (UW-Madison). Russell Jeung, a co-founder of Stop Asian American American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Hate, made the remarks in his keynote speech “Ending Asian Hate: The Asian American Community Responds.”

Stop AAPI Hate is a national coalition tackling anti-Asian prejudice in the midst of a pandemic. It monitors COVID-19-related hate, violence, and prejudice against AAPIs in the United States, according to Jeung.

“What makes it worse is that you see so many cases where they feel so alone and others were around and no one did anything, as if they condoned what was happening,” said the Asian American sociologist.

According to the university’s website, the Diversity Forum has been UW-Madison’s all-campus and community platform to discuss and learn about current issues on diversity and inclusion for the past two decades.
