In February 2020, 63% of Asian Americans said they were discriminated against. The survey also found that 73% of Asian American residents worry about being victims of physical violence or a hate crime.

The state’s Asian Americans ranked first with 63%, followed by whites with 57%, Latinos with 46% and Black Californians with 39%.
