摘要

This paper compares rates of hate crimes among racial groups and Jewish religious groups over the period since hate crimes first came to be tracked by the American government, beginning in the 1990s. It aims to understand how these rates vary across groups, but especially among Asian Americans, whose victimization during the COVID period brought them into the national spotlight. We find that, notwithstanding the surge in anti-Asian hate crimes during that recent period of heightened tension in the country, Asians have had relatively low rates of victimization by hate crimes compared to Jews and African-Americans. We conclude, based on FBI Uniform Crime Reports and other data, that Asian Americans are hardly immune from vulnerability to hate crimes in times of social tension, but that they have become increasingly integrated into American society over the period examined.
