We have a few answers from Dr. Russell Jeung, San Francisco State University, who answered our questions on the Stop AAPI data:

Question 1: The ethnicity of those who reported hate was shared. For White, does this mean 6.0% of White individuals reported the hate or were subject to hate?

• Response: 6% of the respondents were White. They could either be mixed race Asians who are white, white bystanders reporting incidents facing Asians, or whites subject to hate.

Question 2: We had the same question for the 0.2% Pacific Islanders: were they reporters, subject to or both?

• Response: These are all persons subject to hate

Question 3: For the 11% ages 0-11 and 10.1 % ages 12-17, what percentage are Pacific Islanders? Did the hate take place in a "school setting" since many are on distance learning? Or did the hate take place outside of school on social media?

• Response: One 12-17 PI faced harassment online: "This guy was making fun of Hawaiian people on his Snapchat story so I slid up to defend my culture and he was calling me rude names and making fun of the AAPI movement" Another faced harassment at a mall: "I was at mall with a friend and me being an Asian Pacific Islander. I was wearing a plumeria clip and was speaking Chamorro when a women coughed and said “you and your people are the reason why we have corona” she then said “go sail a boat back to your island. “
