Many colleges and universities across the country, however, allow students to make anonymous \u201cbias\u201d reports about anything they deem to be offensive, whether it actually is offensive or whether the intent was to offend or not.<\/p>\n<p>An organization called Stop Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Hate collects reports of what people allege to be \u201chate incidents,\u201d which can be anonymously reported and don\u2019t have to rise to the level of a crime. The Stop AAPI Hate <a href=\"https:\/\/secureservercdn.net\/104.238.69.231\/a1w.90d.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/210312-Stop-AAPI-Hate-National-Report-.pdf\">report<\/a> collected 3,795 anonymously reported anti-Asian allegations between March 19, 2020 and February 28, 2021. Nearly 90% of those reports were allegations of \u201cverbal harassment\u201d and \u201cshunning.\u201d Physical assault, however, is the third most-reported category, with 11.1% of the total reports (that\u2019s about 420 reports).<\/p>\n<p>As for the location of these incidents, universities rank near the bottom of the list, with 2.5% of allegations allegedly occurring at universities. A look through the selected examples included in the organization\u2019s report shows these incidents seem to happen a lot in progressive communities like those in California and New York. In fact, the organization found solid Blue States California, New York, and Washington were the three top states for reports of hate against Asian-Americans, comprising 62.34% of all the incidents. Texas came in fourth with 2.71% of incident reports, followed by three more Democrat-controlled states (Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Illinois).<\/p>\n<p>The examples included in the report also come from many progressive cities like New York City, Brooklyn, and Milpitas, California.<\/p>\n<p>Though Stop AAPI Hate explicitly states on <a href=\"https:\/\/stopaapihate.org\/frequently-asked-questions\/\">its website<\/a> that it does not use the phrase \u201chate crime\u201d in its report \u201cbecause not all occurrences are legally defined as crimes,\u201d that hasn\u2019t stopped news outlets from reporting them as crimes even without formal charges.<\/p>\n<p>CBS news, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/asian-americans-battling-bias-continuing-crisis\/\">ran a segment<\/a> at the end of March titled, \u201cAsian Americans Battling Bias: Continuing Crisis,\u201d which claimed the Stop AAPI Hate group found that \u201cNearly 4000 crimes against Asian-Americans have been reported since the start of the pandemic, an increase of about 150% in major U.S. cities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The College Fix <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/harvard-student-newspaper-repeatedly-botches-coverage-of-hate-incidents-against-asian-americans\/\">reported<\/a>, student newspaper The Harvard Crimson has made the same error \u201cat least four times in the past month, erroneously claiming that there have been 3,795 hate crimes reported against Asians in the past year, when there has not been.\u201d In one of the erroneous articles, the Crimson mentioned a resolution from Harvard\u2019s undergraduate council condemning violence against Asian-Americans following the shootings at several Atlanta, Georgia, spas that resulted in the deaths of six Asian-American women. So far, the shootings have not been determined to be a hate crime.<\/p>\n<p>The Fix reached out to the Crimson numerous times to request a correction but was never answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeither the Harvard Undergraduate Council or [sic] the Graduate Council, which passed a similar resolution, responded to multiple emailed requests for comment in the past two weeks seeking a copy of the legislation. Tarina Huja, one of the sponsors of the resolution, did not respond to an email in the past week that requested a copy of the legislation,\u201d the Fix wrote, adding that the authors of the Crimson articles have not responded either.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
