Concerns about hate crimes are growing in the United States.
A rally was held in Manhattan, New York, where an Asian woman in her 60s on the road was brutally beaten, and accusations were poured not only on the suspects but also on the building security guards who closed the door after seeing the situation.
US authorities have come up with additional measures for hate crimes.
