Using this data to conduct longitudinal analysis, we find that while hateful users are less engaged in the COVID-19 discussions prior to their first anti-Asian tweet, they become more vocal and engaged afterwards compared to counterhate users. In this paper, we present COVID-HATE, the largest dataset of anti-Asian hate and counterhate speech on Twitter in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with a long-term longitudinal study. • We conduct statistical, linguistic, geographic, and network analysis of hate and counterhate tweets and users to reveal characteristic patterns of the origin, evolution, and spread of anti-Asian hate throughout the world.
