A recent study found evidence linking former President Donald Trump ’s rhetoric about COVID-19 to a surge in anti-Asian sentiment on social media.
The study looked at 1.6 million tweets with geographic information that allowed them to track where and when these messages were posted.
The researchers found that, following Trump 's use of the term “ Chinese virus” on March 16, 2020 , there was a noticeable increase in anti Asian hate tweets.
The study only examined hate speech during the early months of the pandemic.
Future research could explore whether these trends persisted or whether other factors, such as shifts in political leadership or changes in public health messaging, affected anti-Asian sentiments over time.
The study complements existing studies that show that a public health crisis does not necessarily lead to discrimination against minority groups.
