This article talks about how Asians in the Bay Area are being targeted, which makes them fearful for themselves but specifically for the elderly Asian people. Edwards’ (2021) online article states the following:

Police say a six-man crew committed more than 70 robberies, burglaries and thefts in San Jose alone and at least 177 in cities throughout the San Francisco Bay area. The robberies not only affected the victims but also the Asian community writ large as the specter of violence scared people trying to run errands. (para. 4)

This statement is a fact.

According to the CRAAP test this is a good source to use.

I believe this source has a lot of good information about the elderly Asian people who are being targeted. This article has a good argument because it states a lot of facts that have occurred recently.

In this online article, it states, “ Anti-Asian hate crimes in San Francisco spiked 567% in 2021, San Francisco officials said this week.”, which is a fact. This article also talks about the San Francisco lawsuit, which accuses the DA not doing enough.

According to the CRAAP test, this online article is a good source to use that correlates with the topic.

I believe it would a great source to refer to for my topic in regards to the rise of Asian Hate Crimes. This source has a good argument. I’m an Asian woman living in the Bay Area, and I have plenty of friends, family, classmates, and coworkers who are Asian as well. This is relevant current event and I feel like the justice system hasn’t done much to help or protect the AAPI community.
