Survey Finds Asian Americans Report High Anxiety Amid Mixed Public Perceptions in US

A recent STAATUS Index survey by The Asian American Foundation and NORC at the University of Chicago reveals that Asian Americans report the highest anxiety levels among US racial groups, citing discrimination, policy concerns, and uncertainty about belonging. Despite being viewed as successful and hardworking, many Americans perceive Asian Americans as less loyal to the US, with nearly 40% unable to name a famous Asian American. While public attitudes show some improvement in fairness perceptions, concerns about loyalty and security persist amid rising hate crime reports and systemic pressures.
