Abstract: This paper examines evidence from a number of large-scale empirical studies looking at the impact of Covid-19 on hate crimes against Chinese and East-Asian populations in different locations around the globe. Grounding this evidence in theories  of hate and prejudice, and empirical work on how other significant events such as wars, terrorist attacks and political events have triggered increased hate and hate related crimes this paper discusses potential mechanisms that may help us better understand the reasons Covid-19 led to an increase in hate crimes and what lessons we can learn for the future.
