Biden denounces anti-Asian racism says "it's un-American. And it must stop"

According to Vox, Biden’s comments come as anti-Asian incidents have surged during the pandemic: According to Stop AAPI Hate, a group that’s been tracking these reports, more than 2,800 such incidents have been documented since last March, ranging from violent attacks to verbal abuse including people getting spat on at the grocery store and called racial slurs. Per a report from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University San Bernardino, which examined police data in 16 major cities, hate crimes targeting Asian Americans rose 150 percent in the last year. And more recently, a wave of violent assaults on elderly people has renewed attention on this issue.

President Biden in January had taken executive actions when he denounced anti-Asian racism and called for better data collection of the above-mentioned incidents and urged the federal agencies to remove any racist language that may have been used in government documents.
