Conn AG Tong Speaks At Anti-Asian Discrimination Summit

1:55 Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said the perception of Asian Americans as meek and docile needs to be confronted. He told a summit of states attorneys general this week that such stereotypes are responsible for a rise in anti-Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) hate crimes across the country. Tong is leading a national effort against anti-AAPI hate.

They are submissive, through a racist lens highly objectified and sexualized,” Tong said.
