A term used to describe a situation or instance where a group of people (racial, ethnic, sexual, etc.) is discriminated against (deliberately avoided, insulted, harassed, assaulted, etc.) because others associate it with the coronavirus disease, COVID-19. May also be known as COVID-19-related hatred or COVID-related hatred.
Americas & Europe: Coronavirus-related hatred affects Asians because people associate Chinese and non-Chinese Asians with COVID-19. The same issues apply in Australia and New Zealand.
Africa: Chinese inhabitants face increased stigma, and the ethnic Chinese group is the subject of coronavirus-related hatred.
India: Anyone that "looks Chinese" or vaguely East Asian are at increased risk of assaults, because East Asian-looking people are associated with COVID-19 in India.
China: Despite the virus having originated in China, many people in China associate dark-skinned people with COVID-19. Discrimination against dark-skinned people (especially black Africans) have risen as a result. Xenophobia has also risen, as Westerners risk being insulted or even assaulted for "helping perpetuate" the virus.
South Korea: Given a recent COVID-19 outbreak in an LGBT-oriented nightclub, any LGBT people (particularly gay people) face severe harassment whether or not they were involved. To a lesser extent, ethnic Chinese people are ostracized (an issue occurring in Japan as well).
No matter who you are or where you are, coronavirus-related hatred helps no one. Whether it manifests as racism, ethnic biases, or other forms of discrimination, it encourages divides among people and doesn't help fight COVID-19. Since coronavirus-related hatred come in many forms, we must all work together to not only fight COVID-19 but also the increased stigma that people around the world face.
A term used to describe a certain 45th President of the United States.
The Orange One separates immigrant families into concentration camps, hates Muslims, does not care about blacks, calls the coronavirus the "Chinese virus" to stoke anti-Asian hatred, and acts like a manchild. Oh, and he looks like cheetos too. He's literally Cheeto Hitler.

The main protagonist from the post-apocalyptic manga/anime series Fist of the North Star. He is the successor of the secret Chinese martial art called Hokuto Shinken, which grants superhuman strength and uses pressure points to destroy enemies from the inside.
Kenshiro, among others like Jotaro Kujo, is one of the manliest anime characters to ever exist. While Kenshiro has sheer power, he uses it to bring justice and peace to the world rather than for his own gain. He also treats even his rivals with dignity, and he isn't afraid to hold back to protect the innocent.
Some feats include:
- killing giants that are several times his size
- surviving a tank shot head-on
- destroying said tank with a flurry of kicks and punches
- when struck on his shoulder with a steel beam, the beam bends while his shoulder remains entirely unharmed
- destroying skyscrapers with single punches
- walking straight through falling skyscrapers as easily as a hot knife cuts through butter
- curing a little girl of mutism and giving back her ability to speak
- burying a former friend honorably because he loved the same woman Kenshiro did
- defeating a ruthless emperor (who had a tragic background) with a merciful fist, rather than a painful technique
- immobilizing his left leg with a secret technique, so that one of his later rivals (who lost his left leg) has a fairer match
- calling his allies and enemies alike his "friends" who have helped shape his destiny
Kenshiro is a true hero of the people and a savior of a lost era.
