Chinese

A racial slur sinophobic (Chinese-hating), racist people use against Asians after COVID in 2020. They think the pandemic from China gave them license to discriminate against Asians whenever they feel like it.

If you say you’re not Chinese, they say you’re ugly, because 1) they don’t find beauty in general Asian features and 2) they want to make you feel bad.

“Chinese” is the slur nowadays simply because Covid came from China and people use that term to make Asians feel bad by association. If it came from Korea, and Koreans were getting the hate every night on TV like the Chinese are, they’d call Asians they want to attack “Korean” to insult them, and so on.

Some people act like they aren’t being racist calling a random Asian “Chinese,” because “Chinese” is an ethnicity and not a race. But you can’t tell who is Chinese by evaluating their looks, their general Asian features (such as eyes), so it is racist. Imagine calling a Black person “Haitian” or a White person “Russian.” They have Haitian and Russian features, respectively! But are they Haitian or Russian?

Let’s stop discriminating against others for their differences and treat everyone, even Asians and of course the Chinese, as equals. Because they are. We as people are equals and are one race, together—the human race.

If someone calls you a slur, it’s because they can’t accept that everyone is equal and just as worthy as they are. There’s something wrong with them— not you!

Have a great day! :)

They walk by you and randomly yell, “CHINESE!!”

“You’re not Chinese? But you’re so ugly!”
