Asian Americans are facing a surge of racist abuse and violence in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic—as they have often in the past. During the 1970s and 80s, they were targeted as the American auto industry shrunk and thousands of workers were laid off in the face of competition from Japanese automakers.
