Sagar Tamang is speaking out after he was left unconscious from being hit in the head from behind while getting a hot dog from a street vendor in Oakland. He says 'this is happening with a lot of Asian communities... this happens all the time.'

A new survey tracking attitudes and perceptions in the U.S. found more blaming Asian Americans for the COVID-19 pandemic now than they did last year.

That friend, who is also from Nepal says while it may be hard to prove in the legal sense it was a hate crime she firmly believes the AAPI community are targets. "Because we're Asian, people think we are easy to rob, easy to assault, easy to manipulate and do anything they want. If it's someone else, they wouldn't do that. He's a short Asian guy," says his friend, who did not want to be identified.

While the incident was scary, Tamang says it is not going to scare him from doing the things he loves. "To be honest, I don't expect anything from this whole scenario. I'm going to live my life, everyone's going to live their life. But one thing is this has made me more stronger as a person who survived it." He continued to say"It happened to me, it could happen to anyone."
