It's escalated (exponentially) thanks to conversatives blaming China for COVID. But American violence against people who look like me has been happening for 200 years.

#StopAsianHateCrimes
This country never wanted us. The very first immigration ban was put in place because the US didn't want Chinese people. The entire concept of "legal" vs. "illegal" immigration exists because of American xenophobia toward us.

Anti-miscegenation laws listed us specifically.
The US had laws specifically prohibiting Asians from becoming citizens. And laws specifically barring us from owning property. The latest one was passed in 1943, and many of them were not stuck down until the 1950s.
