全美针对亚裔的仇恨犯罪案件激增，有谁在为他们发声？

近日，美国发生的针对亚裔美国人的仇恨犯罪和种族主义袭击事件数量不断上升，社交媒体上刷屏的一些案发现场视频也颇为触目惊心，引发了网友广泛关注。

There's a rise in hate crimes targeting Asian Americans across the United States. Over the past few weeks in specific, social media has been flooded by a slew of disturbing videos of Asian Americans being violently attacked.

当地时间1月28日，美国旧金山一名来自泰国的84岁亚裔男子清晨散步时突然被人猛烈冲撞，头部砸向地面，送医两天后不幸身亡。据悉，冲撞他的是一位19岁的黑人男子。目前该男子已被警方逮捕。 

这名老人的家人说，他们认为这是源于种族主义的袭击。

当地时间1月31日，一名91岁的亚裔老人在加州奥克兰唐人街，被人从背后推倒受伤。

演员金大贤（Daniel Dae Kim）和吴彦祖（Daniel Wu）得知此事后，曾在社交媒体上公开悬赏2.5万美元（约合人民币16万元）搜寻嫌犯。

金大贤在推特上写道，“尽管我们一再请求帮助，但针对亚裔美国人的仇恨犯罪数量仍在不断上升。这些罪行被忽视，甚至被原谅。想想陈果仁（Vincent Chin）的遭遇吧。”

当地时间2月7日，吴彦祖在接受美国消费者商业与新闻频道（CNBC）节目采访时表示，“我们需要为自己的社区采取行动，这种事情我们忍无可忍了。”

To help bring the attacker to justice, actors Daniel Dae Kim and Daniel Wu teamed up to offer a $25,000 (approximately 161,000 yuan) reward.

"We need to take actions as leaders of our community, to make a statement that we are not gonna take this anymore and that we need to take action and rise up for this," said Daniel Wu during an interview with CNBC on February 7.

据报道，这一案件的嫌疑人已于近日被逮捕。该嫌疑人1月31日当天还袭击了另外两名亚裔人士。

这一消息公布后，金大贤在推特上表示，他和吴彦祖将把这2.5万美元的奖金捐赠给各种反对针对亚裔暴力的组织。

The suspect in the Oakland case, who also attacked another two Asians on January 31, was recently arrested. Fortunately, the three victims all survived. These attacks, however, are part of a larger pattern.

除此之外，一名64岁的越南女性在加州圣何塞一家超市外受到攻击并被抢走1000美元；纽约市一名61岁的菲律宾男性在地铁上被人砍伤脸；还有两位亚裔妇女在纽约不同的地方遇袭……

类似案件数量激增

A national problem, 

not just a regional one

亚裔美国人公平推进组织负责人说，大家看到的其实还只是冰山一角，去年以来，亚裔美国人面临两种病毒，一种是新冠病毒，另一种是种族主义病毒。

美国媒体报道指出，新冠肺炎疫情暴发后，美国政府的相关言论助长了排外情绪，美国亚裔遭遇的歧视和仇恨事件增多。

据亚裔组织统计，去年全美有2800起针对亚裔美国人的种族主义事件。其中，有8％涉及人身攻击。

联合国一份报告发现，在去年3月至5月的8周时间里，就发生了1800多起类似案件。

尤其是在纽约，2020年仇恨犯罪亚裔受害者数量比2019年大增了867%。

加州奥克兰市唐人街商会在过去几周内则收到了20多起类似案件的报告。

In March 2020, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reportedly warned of a potential surge in COVID-19-related hate crimes against Asian Americans.

According to the California-based Stop Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) Hate Center, in 2020, it has received more than 2,800 reports of hate incidents from Asian Americans. Eight percent of those cases involved physical assault.

A report from the United Nations last year also showed that over an eight-week period from March to May, there were more than 1,800 incidents targeting Asian Americans in the U.S.

Asian hate crime victims in New York City in 2020 alone saw an 867% increase compared to the year before.

The Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce in California has received more than 20 incident reports in the last few weeks.

社会各界陆续发声

Raise awareness, seek for help

面对这一现状，各界知名人士开始在社交网络掀起“停止歧视亚裔运动”（#StopAsianHate），为亚裔人士争取平等权益。

据报道，加州湾区亚裔志愿者也走上街头，鼓励人们讲述遭遇，为社区老人提供陪同保护。

In an effort to raise awareness around such hate crime cases, many have stepped up and voiced their support through social media platforms.

Volunteers in the Bay Area also took to the street, encouraging people to speak out as well as providing help for the elderly.

针对此前奥克兰袭击事件，纽约市长白思豪曾在推特上转发了相关报道，表示“与亚太裔社区站在一起”。

“太恐怖了，这是对我们纽约市价值观的攻击。请互相守望、互相保护，支持亚太裔餐馆和商铺。绝不能让偏见和仇恨分裂我们。”

当地时间2月16日，白思豪在介绍该市新冠疫苗接种工作时也表示，歧视亚裔美国人的行为“不可容忍”。

"Our Asian American communities have had a very, very tough time in 2020," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Tuesday. 

"Asian American communities suffered tremendous amount of discrimination and what's most painful is to think back that some of that hatred, some of that discrimination literally was emanating out of our federal government in Washington D.C."

今年1月，美国总统拜登签署了一项行政命令，谴责针对亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民的种族主义和仇外情绪，并指示联邦政府在所有工作中推动种族公平。

农历大年初一，拜登和夫人吉尔在一条牛年贺词视频中也重申打击种族歧视，再次为亚太裔发声并表示，我们一再从亚太裔民众身上见证善良、坚毅的美好品质。不论族裔、成长背景、宗教信仰、语言文化，每个人都应当享有尊严并被尊重。

U.S. President Joe Biden signed a series of executive orders upon his inauguration on January 20, in which he addressed the importance on advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government.

Biden and First Lady Jill Biden also mentioned that "racism, harassment, (and) hate crimes" against Asians and Pacific islanders are "simply wrong" during video on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year.

如何保护亚裔安全？

What to do?

最后，在遇到类似仇恨犯罪案件时，我们应当如何保护自己和他人？

1. 安全第一：相信自己的直觉并判断周围环境。如果感到不安全，可以的话，请离开该区域。
2. 保持镇静：深呼吸，减少眼神接触且避免过激的肢体语言。
3. 在保证安全的情况下，大声说出来：保持镇定和物理距离，并谴责对方的行为。
4. 寻求即时帮助：向路人寻求支持或干预。
5. 寻求情感支持：恢复安全之后，可与他人联系并讲述遭遇。这不是你的错，你也并不孤单。

Beyond awareness, what are some of the helpful suggestions that people can do either to protect themselves when experiencing hate or to support the Asian community?
