Anti-Asian hate crimes have spiked across the U.S. over the past year, fueled in part by Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric about the coronavirus. One recent study found a 150% increase in hate crimes targeting Asian Americans in 2020, even though overall hate crimes fell last year. Ron Kim, member of the New York State Assembly representing the 40th District in Queens, New York, says anti-Asian sentiment tends to flare up during times of crisis. “There’s a long history of Asian Americans in this country feeling targeted and scapegoated whenever we experience economic downturns,” says Kim. We also speak with Kim Tran, an antiracist writer and organizer based in the Bay Area, who says anti-Asian violence is “diffuse,” affecting people in different ethnic and cultural communities in various ways, “but there is a common sense of racial scapegoating.”

a group of students at Haggard Middle School invited 13-year-old SeMarion Humphrey to a sleepover, only to force him to drink the urine of another child while students laughed at him....CBS 21 reports that Summer Smith, SeMarion’s mother, said she had been reporting incidents of bullying her son suffered to the school for months. She believes that her son was invited to the sleepover for the sole purpose of bullying him. During a news conference, she said it was “premeditated and it was obvious that SeMarion was only invited for their pure entertainment.”“Imagine your classmates and football team members turning on you and targeting you,” Smith wrote in the Facebook post that sparked the investigation. “Imagine being forced to drink the urine of not only a boy who thought was your friend, but his friends. Imagine the video of you drinking the urine being sent to multiple people in your school.”...In the video footage attached to the post, a white child can be seen holding a cup filled with yellow liquid up to SeMarion’s mouth as he drinks and laughter is heard in the background.Smith said that her son had only befriended the unidentified student who invited him to the sleepover a month prior and that he had been shot with BB guns, hit while he was sleeping and called racial slurs that night as well.
O'FALLON, Mo. — The St. Charles County branch of the NAACP and several parents are calling for change after five teachers were pictured on social media holding up a racial slur."I'm angry, I'm hurt because I trust you with my child," said one parent with a child in the Christian School District.It started as a game of human Scrabble. The photo shows faculty from the Christian School District rearranging letters to form the word "coons."..."I don't believe it that five Caucasian teachers, not one of them knew that.

The Mountain View Police Department (MVPD) arrested a 39-year-old woman connected to a string of anti-Asian hate crimes last month, where she made racially-charged comments and spat on one of the Asian victims. Karen Inman was arrested around 11 a.m. on March 5 for attempting to steal candy and ice cream from a Smart and Final in East El Camino Real, according to Mountain View Police. Investigators also discovered her connection to two anti-Asian incidents last month.Authorities accuse Inman of trying to steal merchandise from a market in Castro Street on Feb. 13. She allegedly took food and clothing and refused to pay for them because of the victim's Asian ethnicity. She was detained minutes later, but while interviewing her, they were told of another call about an incident with the perpetrator matching Inman’s description. The woman was allegedly connected to a battery incident at a downtown restaurant that same day. Inman allegedly yelled at and made racial comments at two patrons, one of whom was Asian. She was also accused of spitting at the male victim.
Family of Black 5-Year-Old Says Arkansas Teacher Made Him Clean Out Clogged Toilet With His Hands...t’s deeply despairing to be continually reminded of how inhumanely Black children are likely to be treated in this country.On the heels of the news that a 13-year-old middle schooler in Plano, Texas, underwent racist bullying—including allegedly being forced to drink urine by his classmates—comes an Arkansas family’s complaint that a kindergarten teacher made their child dig through a toilet clogged with feces.Ashley Murry of Little Rock, Arkansas, shared the disturbing allegations with KARK News on Tuesday, saying her 5-year-old son was made to put his bare hands in a dirty toilet by his teacher at Crystal Hill Elementary School after it was clogged up.“It’s degrading for a child so I don’t feel like any child should have to go through this,” said Murry.According to a post made by the child’s grandmother on Facebook, the teacher allegedly made the boy put his hand in the toilet “and clean out his feces and tissue” because he had clogged it.Anyone who could do that to a child, not to mention any teacher who could do that to a child in their classroom, is a person with a deep streak of cruelty and sadism in my opinion. Both those traits are historically related to racism, and the child’s grandmother raised the issue of his race in her response to the egregious incident.“This child is 5 years old in kindergarten,” Tami Murry posted. “He is a young black male and this was done to degrade him, belittle him, and it will cause him to have anxiety, he keeps telling everyone what happened.”The Murrys are now calling for the teacher’s termination. Speaking of calling, the child’s mother said the teacher talked to her on the phone about the incident.“She said she didn’t have an explanation, she just knew she was wrong. But she stated to the principal that she was trying to teach how not to stop up the toilet,” said Murry.She didn’t have an explanation. Luckily, I have a few—see the earlier mentions of cruelty, sadism and racism.The Pulaski County Special School District told The Root in a statement that the teacher is on administrative leave pending investigation of the incident. They would not disclose the name of the teacher, who uncorroborated reports online have identified as a white woman, citing district policy for “disciplinary personnel matters.”
