A 2025 survey revealed that 48 percent of Asian American and Pacific Islander adults in California experienced hate in 2024.
A recent report by Stop AAPI Hate unveiled that 48 percent of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) adults in California reported experiencing hate in 2024. This data was drawn from a survey conducted in January 2025, involving 515 AAPI adults, and highlights ongoing concerns about racial animosity in the state.
The latest figures are consistent with those from the previous year when approximately 49 percent of respondents reported similar experiences in 2023. These statistics underline California’s position as the national epicenter of anti-AAPI hatred, reflecting broader patterns of racial discrimination and violence.
California is home to the largest AAPI population in the United States, contributing to its status as a focal point for such discriminatory acts. The survey’s findings emphasize the persistent challenges faced by the AAPI community, despite ongoing efforts to combat racial and ethnic prejudice.
The data from this survey serves as a critical reminder of the need for continued advocacy and policy initiatives aimed at reducing hate crimes and improving the social climate for minority communities.
The survey was conducted by Stop AAPI Hate, an organization dedicated to tracking and addressing anti-AAPI bias in the United States.
