Anti-South Asian hate, racism, and xenophobia in the US are on the rise, surfacing in our neighbourhoods, workplaces, schools, and social media platforms. This hostility manifests into harassment, discrimination, and hate-fueled violence. Yet it remains underreported, understudied, and too often invisible in mainstream conversations about racism and discrimination. 

Join the Center for South Asia at Stanford University, the Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH), and Stop AAPI Hate for presentations on the latest data and a panel discussion exploring the scope and nature of anti-South Asian hate both online and offline. Our panelists will examine the forces fueling this hostility, the role of social media platforms, and discuss actionable strategies for communities, institutions, and policymakers to push back.
