华盛顿，2021 年 3 月 4 日讯 — AARP 乐龄会首席执行官 Jo Ann Jenkins 针对近期汇编的资料发布了下列回应声明，这些资料显示全美 16 个最大城市的反亚裔仇恨犯罪率去年激增，部分更增长了三位数。 3 月 2 日的分析资料以警方初步资料为基础，来源于圣博纳迪诺的加州大学仇恨与极端主义研究中心。根据该中心的报告，第一次犯罪率激增出现在2020 年3、4月份，这与COVID-19 病例的增加以及人们对亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民(AAPI) 社区成员，尤其是华裔美国人的消极刻板印象相一致。此外，报告还显示去年的整体种族仇恨犯罪率下降，但针对 AAPI 社区成员的仇恨犯罪率却显著上升。 另一团体 Stop AAPI Hate（停止仇恨 AAPI）则在二月份报告称，其在 2020 年 3 月 19 日至年末期间收集了 126 例针对美国亚裔年长者（60 岁以上）的第一手仇恨犯罪资料。这些案例占到该团体总共接收到的 2,808 起自报案例的 7.3%。 Jenkins 表示： “我们的国家必须联合起来对抗新冠病毒，该病毒已经对美国年长者带来了极大的伤病和死亡率。这些令人不安的新的种族仇恨犯罪资料意味着年长的亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民不仅要担心被新冠病毒感染，还面临着因偏见、仇恨和排外而遭受暴力和骚扰的危险不断增加。这两项因素结合在一起，可能会对其寻求检测、治疗、资讯或疫苗接种造成障碍，而在此时刻我们整个国家必须团结一致，并竭尽所能地帮助遏制 COVID 的传播。 CDC（美国疾病控制与预防中心）前主任 Robert Redfield 曾表示，污名是公共卫生的天敌，对此我们深表赞同。 AARP 乐龄会强烈谴责所有种族冲突暴力和骚扰行为。” ### 关于AARP乐龄会 AARP乐龄会是美国最大的非营利性、无党派组织，致力于帮助和激励50岁以上的人群享有自我选择的生活方式。 AARP乐龄会在全国范围内拥有近3800万成员，它巩固并加强社区，倡导对家庭最重要的事情：健康保障，财务稳定和个人成就感。AARP乐龄会还发行全国最大的发行出版物：《AARP乐龄会杂志》和《AARP乐龄会简报》。了解更多信息，请访问中文官网 chinese.aarp.org 或关注AARP乐龄会微信公众号 。
