  • The noun isn't a problem.
  • ) The problem is the fact that you don't have a full clause after given that .
  • anti-Asian hate crimes that have spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic is not a complete clause.
  • that have spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic is a relative clause that modifies anti-Asian hate crimes , so you're left with a big noun phrase (the noun and its modifier) rather than with a full clause.
