since 2020, crimes toward asian americans have gone up. according to the pew research center, after the covid - 19 epidemic, 32% of asian adults in america said they personally knew someone who was threatened or attacked because of their ethnicity. some of this was due to false propaganda and hysteria over the origin of covid - 19.

(1 point)
○ hysteria and propaganda
○ ethnicity and origin

○ crimes and threatened

Explanation:

The author's point of view frames the anti-Asian attacks as rooted in irrational, unfounded forces. The words "hysteria" (meaning irrational panic) and "false propaganda" signal the author's judgment that the treatment of Asian Americans is driven by unreasonable, misleading ideas, rather than neutral details. The other options are either factual terms or citation markers that do not convey the author's perspective.

Answer:

hysteria and propaganda
