In a world where people fear for their safety. That’s so broad that it can be anybody considering how society is now. Specifically though, asian hate is something that has been increasing and has become a concern to many asian artists. Due to covid-19 asian hate crime has been more severe and musicians have unfortunately suffered the consequences. That didn’t stop them from making a change by being a voice that wasn’t left unheard. We need to inform people what really is occurring behind the scenes to truly stop asian hate crimes happening to pleanty of people around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asian hate, what really is it and why is it going on? Asian hate basically is when people go out of their way to verbally and or physically abuse the asian community. In one article \u201cI Still Believe In Our City\u201d it states\u201dNYC hospitals saw a spike of nearly 200,000 patients, Asian and Pacific Islanders (APIs) faced an added threat: blame, racism, and xenophobia\u201d this shows that the increase of covid-19 patient the more dangerouse Asian lives will be at risk. Many people believe that China started covid on purpose to hurt the Americans this alleged accusation affecting the whole asian community. This is all causing many people from discriminating against them and intentionally causing harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the article \u201cAnti-Asian hate crimes rose to 73% since 2020\u201d it states \u201c Anti-Asian hate crimes increased more than 73 percent in 2020, according to newly corrected FBI data\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The time period of this article as well matches with the timeline of the Covid-19, this just proves my point and the severity of asian hate as the crime rate is over 50% and which is still rising till 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The asian community with the tender and loving heart they have they continue trying to battle this societal conflict with music bringing peace but even then people continue with their heartless acts. In San Francisco there is a violinist with the name of David Kim. A talented person who would play classical music to bring people together but yet still would get disturbed by racism in his own music community. An article named \u201cAsians Are Represented in Classical Music. But Are They Seen?\u201d written by the New York Times it states \u201che felt his white colleagues in San Francisco, who make up 83 percent of the orchestra, did not share his urgency about building a culture more welcoming to Asian, Black and Latino players.\u201d This demonstrating that even with his peers knowing his background are yet not supportive to make him feel welcomed into the orchestra. Later in that article kin himself stated \u201cI felt invisible, even though I was speaking very loudly,\u201d Music being a passion for Mr kim but still didn’t feel comfortable or welcomed\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
