Anti-Asian racism refers to historical and ongoing discrimination, stereotypes, and injustices experienced by people of Asian heritage, often based on assumptions about ethnicity or nationality.
These biases appear at both individual and systemic levels, leading to social, economic, political, and cultural marginalization.
To address this, we must recognize how anti-Asian racism shows up in language, resources, and spaces and actively work to dismantle it. At the same time, we should celebrate Asian cultures, stories, and lived experiences as part of building inclusive communities.
