While most Americans overall think hate crimes against Asian Americans are going down, Asian Americans disagree: 1 in 3 reported being the subject of hate this past year, a new survey finds.

Why it matters: Four years after the pandemic when the nation saw surges in anti-Asian hate, Asian Americans still feel they are targets despite anti-hate campaigns and assurance from elected officials.

During Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, Axios will examine the state of Asian Americans — from accomplishments and obstacles to economic well-being and how Asian American history is being preserved.

By the numbers: Americans in the survey believe hate has increased the most toward Black Americans (42%), followed by Asian Americans (33%) or Hispanic Americans (25%), according to the STAATUS Index (Social Tracking of Asian Americans in the U.S.).

In stark contrast, 61% of Asian Americans feel that hate toward them has increased, the study showed.

The percentage is higher for Black Americans (73%) and lower for Latinos (41%).
