A SURGE in racist attacks since the Covid-19 pandemic began last year has left east and south-east Asian communities “traumatised and outraged,” a new study has revealed.
Attacks have become “an ongoing problem” in the daily lives of victims, according to the report by Dr Hongwei Bao from the University of Nottingham’s school of cultures, languages and area studies.
The report highlights incidents of victims being assaulted, having their jaw broken, clothes torn off, being spat on and having their restaurants vandalised.
