Tackle racism against East Asians by meeting with East Asian community leaders
Hate crimes against people of East Asian descent have tripled since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.Many people of East Asian have experienced racism such as racial slurs being shouted at them in the street, being spat at and in some cases physically assaulted.
The government should meet with leaders of the East Asian community and the Home Office should work with organizations like “End the virus of racism” to tackle increasing hate crimes and racism against people of East Asian descent
