Another possible trigger is China's frightening rise as an economic world power.

This involved verbal abuse, idiots trying to pick fights and throwing stones and snowballs packed with jagged ice, being chased through streets at night by thugs yelling racist insults etc. Most of the perpetrators were white men, but I’ve also faced racist abuse from black people and South Asians. So have many of my Chinese and Japanese friends. East Asians have suffered violent racist abuse long before the pandemic.

Same here in Australia. For my experience as an Asian student, I’ve been facing racism too since the rise of Covid. I’m from Kyrgyzstan but people think I’m Chinese just because of my mongoloid look. People think Covid comes from Asian people in general. For my experience, I’ve never been attacked but instead I’ve been pushed and yelled at mostly about Covid and China’s problems in their country and sometimes they would bump my shoulder real hard with a strong force sometimes on a train and a street. Of course, I wasn’t a coward. I just didn’t want to have a problem with them and continued ignoring them. For my friends who are Vietnamese, Malaysian and Filipino, a couple weeks ago a group of teenagers threw a battle of water at their heads telling them to go back to their countries and complaining about China’s problems that have nothing to do with them. My friends didn’t want to waste their time fighting back and explaining to them so they left. I can’t believe ignorant people still exist in a first world country.

Let's see:- we've lost all our manufacturing because China offered labour and production costs that we just couldn't compete with. They are ravaging the oceans of marine life vital to nearby poorer nations. They allowed their citizens to travel abroad AFTER knowing Covid was beginning to spread. When our government called for an investigation into the origins, the CCP reacted like a child. They have invaded Tibet and want to invade Taiwan. They own real estate, ports, farms and critical infrastructure in Australia against the wishes of the locals. Granted, it's primarily the fault of our useless leaders. But with all these dynamics occurring simultaneously, I just can't imagine why some of us are 'waysist'. China tells us not to interfear in it's internal affairs..........as it has spies and students stealing technology from under our noses. Most people in the West are reasonable and decent people.

To be honest, this doesn't strike me as surprising at all. I've always felt that there's a large amount of racism towards Chinese/Japanese/Korean i.e. East Asian people in the UK. If you were to have lived in the UK in the past 10 years, pretty much anywhere outside of London (where you'd have the option of never seeing a non-Asian person), you'd definitely have experienced some form of racism. Interestingly, I don't see it come from the older generation since most of them are far too polite to open their mouths and say something idiotic like that but the younger generation of Brits I feel to be disrespectful, angry and basically disenfranchised. I don't know if its all pervasive or only in the areas where I happened to be, which, admitedly, were mostly working class to maybe middle class places. (Do note that when I refer to Chinese I just use that as a blanket word to include Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Singaporean and other related but distinct cultures. This is not a comment on race or whatever, it's just easier than having to type out Korean/Japanese/Chinese. I would use the word 'Asian' but 'Asian' in the UK refers mostly to our South Asian brothers of mostly Indian descent. Note 2: I'm using the word "English" because my experience is in England. ) If you were to ask me to speculate on why this is the case, I'd wager that this is because of a few reasons. Chiefly being what is mentioned by one of the ladies here in this video in that whereas other minorities have reached a critical threshold where English have to pay attention to them just due to their numbers, the Chinese have not reached that level yet, population wise. Secondly, culturally, there is the Chinese belief of the iron rice bowl which is to say that they'll tolerate all sorts of abuse and all sorts of attacks so long as it doesn't affect the bottom line of their survival i.e. their livelihood. Lastly, there is a cultural divide. Like the Jews in Europe, the Chinese tend to stick to themselves and keep their heads down low so that they "won't be seen as making trouble." It's related to the second reason that I mentioned but also has the effect of them becoming very successful in businesses etc. That and the fact that there is a huge emphasis on education in Chinese culture also helps ensure their success. The point is that Chinese people do not have a voice and do not have the political power nor push to ensure real change. Lastly, due to the above reasons, there still is not very much contact between the Chinese populace and the English populace. You'd be surprised by how many Brits don't know simple things such as when Chinese New Year is or even what Diwali is about. The latter being extremely shocking considering that Leicester has the biggest Diwali celebration outside of India and that maybe 8% of the population is South Asian. When there is little contact between the communities and between the people, there is a lot of mistrust which can turn into something more dangerous over the years. I would have hoped that in the decade that I've left the country, things would have gotten better but it really seems like they're instead regressing. Hopefully it doesn't regress further and give into far right nationalism because that's the first step down a very very slippery slope.

Thanks for highlighting this problem. The point is well made that one way forward is to raise awareness of this, educating more people about this. I entirely agree with the comments of the Oxford Dean of Law about unconscious racism, as that can be related, in that wider awareness might generate better support amongst more folks in our communities. For instance, in the past few years, someone who knew me, or at least I thought they did, challenged me as to whether there was a reason for me experiencing racism, and suggested that I may have done things inadvertently perhaps to trigger that, adding a question as to whether any of my relatives in this country had suffered the same. I informed this individual that I was not alone, that family members had suffered racist abuse, not just me, and, no, I had most certainly not done anything to trigger such behaviour. The individual who had asked me those questions seemed surprised. I was taken aback at the apparent lack of awareness and insensitivity about the occurrence of racist behaviour towards those of East Asian origin. I would add that sadly, I have particularly experienced racially abusive behaviour since Covid-19 arose, a number of times, in one instance being called Coronavirus, in another episode being spat upon, in yet another instance having money demanded from me to compensate one abuser for the “trouble” my kind were causing (naturally, I refused and he backed off when I threatened to report him for an offence), and in another instance I was shouted at and elbowed aside in a supermarket, whilst in a separate shopping incident I was called a nutter who caused all this by someone who insisted on still standing very close to me whilst she wasn’t wearing a mask after I asked politely that she observe social distancing when queuing (at the time, we were still in the midst of lockdown).

When she was 14 and a freshman her teacher sent her to some big science fair their school had never had a hope of even winning a booby prize. She won first prize, thus giving the school third! Boy, did they love her. Some kids are born with a spirit that simply says--get out of my way. She entered college at 16--by the time she was 26, she had her BS, MD, Ph.D & Post-Doc. She did her medical residency at Johns Hopkins. My son had a rougher time but he eventually earned 3 degrees.

The foundation of this problem lies in the same place as many of the world problems. The lack of a good foundation in philosophy, psychology and debate in education. It is honestly impressive how well politicians, CEO's and religious leaders have thought us that we should leave such things up to them. Their tactics are no longer working that well due to the internet, many of the younger generation are finding their way to these subjects online. I just fear it won't be enough, we have many difficult, global, issues we all need to deal with. Otherwise this planet might not stomach us for much longer. Actually discussing emotions such as hate, anger and fear and giving our children tools to better deal with them through a basis in psychology would make a huge difference. Especially if you combine that with discussions on morals and ethics in a format that uses the many skills found in debate. We humans have the people, the researched, the knowledge, experience and technology. What we now need more than anything else is the wisdom to use it responsibly. I think we can all agree leaving this just to the politicians, CEO's and religious leaders isn't working out that well.

the same thing happened in Germany ( in Siegen and Essen ), mainly since the covid 19 pandemic. I am not from China, but more than some people turned to be violent in speech and behaviour at that time. my career path has also been more negatively affected by racism. I was called corona virus, humiliated in working place and private business. Ironically, I know more about western culture than china for example their language, cities. At this point, I realized that I should have learned more about east and south east asia culture because no matter how little I know about it , less educated people in other part of the world, which is unfortunately many, will blacken me if something relatively negative happens from those countries. However, i do respect people from different culture and race who judge individual not based on their origin. It does not need a high IQ and EQ to manage this.

I moved to the UK last year and had already experienced racism. I was in the park with my daughters, as I was sitting down and group of teenagers walked passed me and one of the boy said to me “ching ching ching”. I was shocked and didn’t know how to react. His friend told him to stop while laughing. Last week I was walking to a restaurant in high street with my family. We walked pass a pub, there were many people drinking outside of the pub, they look like pupils from the university nearby, a group of smoking / drinking pupils saw us and started talking about “racist” and laughed. I didn’t hear what exactly they were talking about but it made me feel really sad. That night after the dinner I felt unsafe going to get our car through walking high street. In this modern world, the children should be more educated about races. The lady who claimed to be nationalist is upset about different races settling in the UK. What would she think if a white family settled in an Asian country and was unwelcome by the locals? To be honest, white people are very welcomed in my own country, why can’t she be the same?

Part of the problem is that Chinese, just to name one, congregate in "asian" or "Chinese" communities. You cannot hide yourself away "among your own" and consider yourself integrated. By doing so you are helping to create the very divide that has formed between indigenous and non-indigenous people. When you are better at (again to name one) Chinese than English, when you havent adopted some sort of native English dialect, when what you eat, say and do aren't alligned with the English how can you expect them all to just accept you fully and without prejudice. And it is prejudice that leads the more aggressive among us to lash out. None of that is to condone racism or violence in any kind, but surely there is also room for introspection in the asian camp? If I could change one thing about asian foreigners around the world it would be just that. The removal of every "chinatown", "koreatown" and so on, a major shift in the attitude towards integration amongst imigrants especially in language and culture. "When in Rome..." We can never eliminate the hate entirely. Women, men, foreigners, homosexuals and weird non-binaries... there will always be hate when you aren't "one of the pack"
