Anti-Asian online hate in the US has seen an “alarming surge” since the 2024 US elections won by Donald Trump, data released by Stop AAPI Hate showed, citing what the nonprofit group called the US president’s anti-immigration agenda and an intense debate surrounding H-1B visas. “Since Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, there has been an alarming surge in anti-Asian hate online – including slurs and threats of violence,” the nonprofit group, which documents discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the US, said on Thursday.
