While most Americans overall think hate crimes against Asian Americans are going down, Asian Americans disagree: 1 in 3 reported being the subject of hate this past year, a new survey finds.
Why it matters: Four years after the pandemic when the nation saw surges in anti-Asian hate, Asian Americans still feel they are targets despite anti-hate campaigns and assurance from elected officials.

By the numbers:Â Americans in the survey believe hate has increased the most toward Black Americans (42%), followed by Asian Americans (33%) or Hispanic Americans (25%), according to the STAATUS Index (Social Tracking of Asian Americans in the U.S.).
- In stark contrast, 61% of Asian Americans feel that hate toward them has increased, the study showed.
- The percentage is higher for Black Americans (73%) and lower for Latinos (41%).
Zoom In:Â 41% of Asian Americans think they are likely to be the victim of a physical attack in the next five years because of their race, ethnicity, or religion, the survey found.
- Only 38% of Asian Americans completely agree they belong in the U.S., and just 18% completely agree they are accepted in the U.S. for their racial identity, the survey found.
- 59% of Asian Americans think it is at least somewhat likely that they will be a victim of discrimination in the next five years.
