There has been a large increase in hateful attacks against Asian Americans resulting in people of all age groups being bullied, spat at and physically attacked in several cities across the country. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump and his allies have consistently referred to the disease as the “Chinese virus,” the “Wuhan virus” and the “kung flu,” resulting in animosity against Asian Americans.
This is not the first time Asian Americans have been scapegoated by xenophobia, and learning the lessons from the unconstitutional incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II is an important step in not repeating history.

Actor/activist George Takei, who was honored by the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of Facing History as an Upstander, participated in a virtual event, “Racism: Then and Now,” hosted by Facing History on April 14. In answer to the question “What change would you like to see?,” Takei responded, with a nod to Barack Obama: “Change won’t come if you wait for a better time … We are the change we have been waiting for … to make the ideals of our democracy real.”
