## Caption

For SF State Asian American Studies professor Russell Jeung and his wife, dealing with anti-Asian discrimination during the pandemic has become the norm. Jeung recalled when he was coughed on and felt shunned from others as a result of his identity — and he’s not alone.

Responding to the increase in anti-Asian rhetoric and attacks after government officials used the phrase “China virus,” Jeung co-created the Stop Asian American and Pacific Islander Hate project with the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council as well as Chinese for Affirmative Action. Stop APPI Hate has been tracking cases of discrimination against Asian Americans in the nation caused since the first COVID-19 case was detected in Wuhan, China.

Launched in mid-March, Stop APPI Hate continues to consistently reach over 100 responses a day in 47 states. The instances range from verbal harassment, such as yelling “Kung Flu,” to actual physical assaults and hate crimes, including spitting and punching.
