自新冠疫情暴发以来,美国国内针对亚裔的种族歧视和仇恨犯罪不断升级。3月16日,佐治亚州亚特兰大地区发生连环枪击,造成包括6名亚裔女性在内的8人死亡。随后,全美爆发“停止亚洲仇恨”(“Stop Asian hate”)运动,数千人集会,抗议针对亚裔的仇恨犯罪。
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the US, the number of discrimination and hate crimes against Asians has continued to rise. On March 16, six Asian women were shot dead in Atlanta, Georgia. In the wake of the shootings, a “Stop Asian hate” movement erupted across the country. Thousands of people rallied, calling for a crackdown on hate crimes.
