Wong added that the misconceptions can also hurt opportunities for racial solidarity. Yet, Wong pointed out that despite the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, Black people are the most targeted racial group. The misconceptions perpetuate harmful racial stereotypes, specifically anti-Blackness, NBC News reports. Ultimately, however, the study found that more than three-quarters of the perpetrators were White. The study found that compared to anti-Black and anti-Latino hate crimes, a higher proportion of perpetrators of anti-Asian hate crimes were people of color.
Wong says a misreading of a study from the American Journal of Criminal Justice, which examined anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents from 1994-2014, may have also contributed to misplaced blame. “This is really how crime is framed in the United States - it’s framed as the source is Black,” Wong told NBC News. Unfortunately, news reports and social media often encourage the idea that most anti-Asian violence and discrimination is committed by people of color, NBC News reports. Wong’s analysis revealed that more than three-quarters of perpetrators of anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents, before and during the pandemic, were White. She looked at data from Stop AAPI Hate, Pew Research and official law enforcement statistics. Janelle Wong, a professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park examined nine sources and four different data states relating to anti-Asian hate crimes. New analysis of anti-Asian hate crime statistics reveals a majority of perpetrators are White, NBC News reports.
