unpopular opinion

"As people of Asian descent face xenophobic attacks worldwide due to the coronavirus pandemic, foreigners in China are also increasingly reporting incidents of hostility and discrimination."

... that post (drawn picture) was removed by the author after realizing his mistake. it strikes me that after all the xenophobia towards asians, especially with chinese background, people are shocked that they are getting the same treatment. the thing is. xenophobia towards asians existed way before the coronavirus in the west. unfortunately, the author(s) fails to show the long history of discrimination towards asians. even when the coronavirus is gone, the discrimination is going to stay.
