Hate Has No Home at 91²Ö¿â
The School of Theatre and Dance condemns incidents of violence, hatred, and discrimination against the Asian and Pacific Islander community, many of which are targeted towards female-identifying and nonbinary persons.
Crimes targeting Asian Americans have surged over 150% in major cities in the last year, with more than 3,800 hate incidents occurring in 2020 alone. On Tuesday, a 21-year-old white man opened fire across the Atlanta metro area, murdering eight people, including six Asian women. This intolerance and violence must stop.
Today, the School of Theatre and Dance stands with the entire Asian and Pacific Islander community as the process of mourning the losses begins. We grieve the tragedies of Tuesday’s horrific killings and of every incident of hate, and we are here to support our students, faculty and loved ones affected by it.
