During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, there has been concern of anti-Asian sentiment increasing in the United States.</ref> In March 2020, President Donald Trump called the disease "Chinese Virus", based on its origin; in response organizations such as Asian Americans Advancing Justice and Western States Center, stated that doing so will increase anti-Asian sentiment and violence. Vox wrote that the Trump Administration using the term "Chinese Virus" and "Wuhan coronavirus" would lead to increased xenophobia. The disease naming controversy occurred at a time when the Chinese Foreign Ministry was claiming that the disease originated in the United States.</ref> Violent acts, relating to the disease, against Asian Americans have been documented in New York, California, and elsewhere.</ref> As of December 31, 2020, there were 259 reports of anti-Asian incidents in New York reported to Stop AAPI Hate. A notable incident was the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings, a fatal attack in which six of the eight casualties were of Asian descent.
