SACRAMENTO, the United States, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- A new study showed that nine out of 10 Asian Americans had personally experienced discrimination and that not enough attention is being paid to the problem in the United States.
The survey was conducted among 7,006 Asian adults from July 2022 to January 2023 and the findings were released on Thursday by the Pew Research Center.
Researchers identified 17 discrimination incidents, including mispronouncing names, receiving poorer service than other customers in restaurants or stores, or being called offensive names.
They found about nine in 10 Asian Americans had personally experienced at least one of the 17 discrimination incidents. About half of Asian adults said they had experienced four incidents or more.
Nearly six in 10 Asian adults said discrimination against Asians living in the United States is a major problem and 63 percent said too little attention is being paid to race and racial issues concerning Asians in the country, according to the survey. ■
