On Monday morning, an unidentified man attacked a 65-year old woman knocking her to the ground and stomping on her head several times and made anti-Asian remarks. [Photo/Agencies] Hating or even violently attacking somebody just because his or her ethnicity is different from yours is one of the most deeply rooted aspects of pernicious racism. Recently, alarmingly growing numbers of cases of such hate crimes across the United States and Canada have highlighted that, sadly, racial prejudice is alive and well, even in places where it may be least expected. Stop AAPI Hate, a group that fights hatred, harassment and discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States, reported 2,800 hate incidents last year alone.
