“…And Bao Lo (2018) argues that such narratives contribute to the "hypercriminalization" (Rios 2011) of these youths, especially young men. Consequently, they are frequently exposed to surveillance and police harassment (Lo 2018). Research also highlights the inimical racialization of Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians.…”

“…Model minority tropes, however, do not apply equally to all groups. For Southeast Asians—many of whom arrived in the United States as involuntary migrants and refugees—deviance and criminality narratives often overshadow model minority stereotypes (Hing 2005; Lo 2018; Ngo and Lee 2007). In fact, studies highlight the pernicious stereotyping of Southeast Asian youths (e.g., Hmong, Cambodians, Lao) as poor, dangerous, and gang-involved delinquents (Chuon and Hudley 2011; Le and Artifuku 2005; Uy 2018).…”

This qualitative study examined how inclusion or exclusion from the boundaries of “Asian-ness” shaped how young adults of Asian origin experienced and navigated police encounters. Respondents’ accounts suggest that being racialized as Asian guarded against aggression and disrespectful tone and behaviors from the police, attributing neutral police treatment to generalizations about Asians as docile, law-abiding, and non-threatening. However, those who described being racialized as something other than Asian reported more negative police treatment. I argue that the differential racialization of these young adults led to divergent policing experiences via status construction. How individuals interact with each other is partly shaped by their perceived racial-ethnic status. However, how others classify one’s racial-ethnic status does not necessarily follow the ethno-racial pentagon. Thus, these findings elucidate how racialization processes reproduce inequality within—not merely between—existing monolithic racial-ethnic categories.

“…Like other Southeast Asian refugees, Hmong people were brought to the United States by war and US imperialism and militarization (Espiritu 2014). After our community was settled here, the country continued to inflict violence against our communities through its declaration of war on our communities using state sanctioned violence such as criminalization and incarceration (Tang 2015;Lo 2018). Violence is broader than the interpersonal and needs to be critically understood and connected with other forms of oppression such as US imperialism and empire, war, militarization, racism, settler colonialism, and heteropatriarchy.…”

Anti-Asian Violence and Abolition Feminism as Asian American Feminist Praxis

Anti-Asian violence during the pandemic has been largely framed by mainstream media as an individual response to the pandemic and reduces anti-Asian violence to "hate" toward Asians, therefore justifying increased use of law enforcement and carceral punishment of individuals committing hate incidents. Additionally, some members of the Asian American community advocate for policy changes and collection of hate crimes statistics that rely more on carceral punishment. Other members of the Asian American community argue that hate crime statistics and legislation do not provide systemic changes necessary to address anti-Asian violence. Specifically, Asian American abolition feminists are challenging mainstream narratives that isolate violence to conversations of racism alone and calling for the abolition of the carceral system that is historically and inherently responsible for violence against Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) communities and women. This paper addresses carceral solutions to anti-Asian violence and the opportunities of abolition feminism as an Asian American feminist praxis to challenge violence against Asian Americans. Focusing on survivor-led movements and responses to violence in its multiple forms, I discuss how abolition feminism may be necessary for redressing anti-Asian violence. I also consider how Asian American abolition feminism can achieve truly liberating, transformative solutions and healing to violence through an abolitionist and decolonial feminist praxis that centers and engages with Indigenous Pacific Islander communities.
