Powerful 'New Yorker' cover captures Asian American fears amidst hate crimes

Unprovoked attacks on Asian people in the U.S. have drastically risen over the past few months, with so many being reported that it's hard to keep track. Asians have been assaulted, stabbed, and killed, with six Asian women among the eight who died in the March 16 Atlanta shootings.

Today The New Yorker revealed the cover for its next issue, which cleverly depicts the psychological impact such hate crimes have had on Asian Americans. 

It's a powerful image, and a heartbreaking punch to the gut.
