A report by USA TODAY says that the violence soiled Asian people's impressions of the United States as a racially tolerant society and a top choice for overseas study.
A California-based group tracking incidents of violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders received nearly 3,000 firsthand accounts of hate crimes from March 2020 through the end of the year.
