Joe Biden decried “vicious hate crimes against Asian Americans who have been harassed” over pandemic.
Washington, United States:
US President Joe Biden on Thursday condemned what he called “vicious hate crimes” committed against Asian Americans since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, calling such acts “un-American” and demanding they stop.
“Too often, we’ve turned against one another,” Biden said in his first primetime address, detailing the progress made in the fight against Covid-19.
He decried “vicious hate crimes against Asian Americans who have been attacked, harassed, blamed and scapegoated” over the pandemic, which originated in China, adding: “It’s wrong. It’s un-American. And it must stop.”
