Description: The Asian community has recently become victim to hate crimes considering the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this is not the first time the Asian population in America has experienced this type of crime. Dating back to the 1800s, Asian people have historically been the targets of oppression and discrimination. This thesis will analyze the similarities between the hate crimes against the Asian population in the past and how they relate to the ones happening today. Some themes include xenophobia, sinophobia, Yellow Peril, the model minority myth, and Yellow Fever: The Lotus Flower/China Doll stereotype. Descriptions of past Anti-Asian policies will be included as well as a discussion on the cross-race effect theory. Additionally, this thesis will include five transcribed interviews of Asian women ages 18-25 and their individual experiences with Asian hate to humanize the faces behind the quantitative reports of Asian hate crimes., Honors Thesis Advisor : Dr. Bonnie Laing, D.S.W.
