• Incidents from California and New York constituted over 58% of all reports.
• Civil rights violations involving workplace discrimination and being barred from businesses and transportation or refused service made up almost 10% of all incident reports.
• 44% of incidents took place at private businesses.
• AAPI women were harassed 2.3 times more than AAPI men.
• 9% of respondents were AAPI seniors (over the age of 60).
• Reports came from 45 states across the nation and Washington DC.
• Even as shelter–in–place policies were implemented across much of the country and AAPIs interacted less with others, the rate of acts of racism remains alarming.
