The Asia Society was established in the United States 65 years ago. Our mission since then has been to promote intercultural understanding, diversity, and inclusion. Any form of racism, let alone racial violence, is abhorrent to our institution. Indeed, any form of racism or racial violence against any minority is equally abhorrent.
Last April, Dr. Russell Jeung spoke at Asia Society Texas Center on the historical roots of anti-Asian racism and xenophobia in the United States and how long-standing stereotypes and conspiracy theories have led to increased reports of verbal harassment, physical attacks, and bullying against Asians and Asian Americans across the United States.
Today, nearly a year later, these appalling hate crimes continue. We stand in solidarity with the Asian and Asian American community in the ongoing fight against racism.
This recent spate of horrific incidents of anti-Asian violence across the United States highlights the importance of our work promoting mutual understanding and the critical work to which Professor Jeung and his colleagues at Stop AAPI Hate are dedicated.
