Full Frame: Racism Against Asians in the U.S. with John C. Yang

The COVID-19 pandemic is sparking another epidemic: racism against people of Asian descent. Stop AAPI Hate was formed in March in response to the rising incidents of racism and discrimination. As of early August, it received more than 2,500 reports from Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders across the United States. "I have concerns that Asian-Americans are getting stereotyped, are getting targeted for reasons that have to do with more misinformation than real information," said John C. Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice-AAJC, a civil rights organization based in Washington, D.C. Yang's organization offers bystander intervention training to teach people how to respond when they witness acts of racism. If someone feels safe, they can call out the racism, Yang said. Also, witnesses can get other people involved, as well as report the incident to authorities.
