UW Madison, WI students led a stop Asian hate march after a PhD student was injured in an attack.
Police don't believe the attack was racially motivated, but many people on campus and in the community feel otherwise.
"I know how tremendously difficult it is for our students to come forward and share their stories, to organize something like this that is not always culturally appropriate in their home countries," said Samantha McCabe, director of International Student Services at UW-Madison. "To promote the knowledge of this but also to call for action against Asian hate," another protester said."We didn't receive any of the WisAlerts we typically receive," she said."We ask that the university add the education about racial events."RELATED: Evanston police investigating after racist messages found in school bathrooms
They said what makes these attacks especially tough is that their students, so far away from home, don't have the support system most others on campus do.
