Summary of findings: Everyday experiences with discrimination are common, with half being asked where they are from in an average month. CHIS findings revealed that in an average month almost half of both NHPIs (45%) and AAs (48%) frequently were asked where they were from with the assumption that they were not from the U.S. Approximately 20% of AA adults indicated being a victim of a hate incident or crime at some point in their lives. Members of Asian subgroups in California expressed varying degrees of disclosure of hate incident or crime victimization. While up to 18% of Filipinos, Vietnamese, and Koreans reported being a victim of at least one hate incident or crime, over one-third of Other Southeast Asians (38%), and around a quarter of Japanese (26%) and South Asians (22%) reported victimization.
