Asian Discrimination

Asian Discrimination

Due to the Coronavirus, many Asians got pushed around and some seriously injured. 

Lots of Asians got hurt because of Covid 19 because of discrimination. This has been going on since February. 

I have experienced how people act when seeing an Asian near them. When I was in a hot tub with my friends enjoying our time on break, all of a sudden an older caucasian man started saying racial slurs. We were unable to do anything so we tried to ignore them, but the funny thing is other adults nearby just watched or did nothing. 

That’s why there always needs to be a solution to the problem someone needs to step up and stop people like this. 

Due to all the Asians getting hurt the NYPD launched an Asian hate crime task force. Having people of the same race communicate can help the cops solve cases faster since some people are comfortable with speaking their language or if someone can’t speak English there is a person that can speak their language and it would be easy to communicate with each other. 

However still, there still are lots of Asians getting hurt. But is there a solution to fix this problem that is going around? There are many ways for things like this to stop. Each different culture/background can come together to find a solution and be able to get along as one group and not have to look behind each other’s back and get hurt/injured.
