I think a lot of it was due to the COVID-19 and the pandemic.
But, also, it recalls just the fact that Asian Americans have been feeling attacked within this country for decades, for generations. And this year's survey really highlighted for us that those three stereotypes of the perpetual foreigner, yellow peril and the model minority myth really reared their ugly heads in the results.
And so this is not just a phenomenon due to COVID-19. It's really been something that's been in our history for a long time. What was particularly new this year was about the belonging question. Last year was the first time we asked, how much do you really feel like you truly belong in this country? And Asian Americans were the least likely to feel we truly belong.
And then, this year, we understand more why. And they tell us they feel like they don't belong because of these attacks. There's a direct correlation between the incidents, the frequency of these attacks and our community's lack of feeling like we truly belong.
The second reason they mentioned was the lack of representation, lack of seeing role models, Asian Americans in senior leadership positions. So those are new insights that we want to work on.
