Stop AAPI Hate just published their newest report: Still Under Fire: Relentless Racism against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in a Heated Election Year.
The report features findings from Stop AAPI Hate’s latest state of anti-AAPI hate national survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago in January 2025. It provides an in-depth look at hate act experiences in 2024, the impacts of hate, needs for support after hate, barriers to reporting hate, and how AAPI communities are pushing back against hate.
The full report is available HERE, and executive summaries in Chinese (traditional and simplified), Korean, Samoan, and Vietnamese will be available soon.
Here are some of the key findings:
- About half (53%) of AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) adults surveyed experienced a hate act in 2024 due to their race, ethnicity, or nationality, similar to the 49% who experienced a hate act in 2023.
- Those who faced hate had worse mental health, with 70% of AAPI adults who experienced hate reporting frequent stress, compared to 49% of those who did not.
- Of the AA/PI adults who experienced hate, over three-quarters did not formally report the hate act despite many experiencing a potential hate crime or civil rights violation.
- Two-thirds of AA/PI adults participated in activities to reduce or resist racism in 2024.
- AAPI adults’ activation against hate remains high. 83% of AA/PI adults are concerned about the racial climate; 82% are optimistic about AA/PI power to end racism, and 67% are motivated to get involved in justice and equity efforts.
- The report also includes recommendations for what policymakers and community members can do to fight together for our equality, freedom, and democracy.
