Chinese People And Asians Are So Racist Towards Black People in China and Asia

Nigerian In China: Why Are People Here So Racist Towards Black People? “There are so many more Chinese people who live in my country and yet they don’t get hassled anywhere near as much as we do in China! Why?” In the past few weeks, hundreds of African migrant workers, traders, and students in the southern city of Guangzhou, home to Asia’s largest African diaspora, were tossed out onto the street—some by their landlords, some by hotel managers, and some by local officials. Those evicted, mostly Igbo Nigerians, insisted that they had paid their rent, had valid visas and the right paperwork, and had no contact with anybody infected with COVID-19. Meanwhile, many others were forced into a 14-day quarantine and random testing without getting their test results. Tony Mathias, an Ugandan exchange student, told Agence France-Presse: “I’ve been sleeping under the bridge for four days with no food to eat. … I cannot buy food anywhere. No shops or restaurants will serve me.” Widely shared videos online appear to show Africans being barred from entering some supermarkets and restaurants. In one video filmed at a McDonald’s, a worker holds a sign that states black people cannot enter. It’s frankly impossible to ignore the irony that China, having bore the brunt of discrimination due to the coronavirus, is now using the same narrative to justify racism within its borders. People of colour face racism no matter where they go. But, sometimes it's more overt in some countries than in others.
