ASIAN HATE

People know Asians get racist comments but this year and the last 2 years since the pandemic hit. It has ever so gotten worse. In the article, “Asian racism during the Pandemic,” by The New York Times, this Chinese American teen states, “This bullying and racial injustice have been happening way before coronavirus.” Hate crimes can occur to any ethnicity and primarily happen when a pandemic or something worldwide happens that a person that fits into certain criteria did, for example, many people that look/are of Chinese descent have been getting hate crimed since a muckbonger named Wang Mengyun ate a bat in a video from 2016, recently she apologized for “causing” coronavirus. When something happens like this that certain criteria of people get treated very differently, and out most times they get “hate crimed”. Which makes people say “Everyone knows Chinese people are disgusting. They’ll eat any type of animal. They’re dirty.” That’s what my classmate said, just days after the coronavirus outbreak started in the United States.” Crowds that have that mindset think every person from there or has the criteria of that race, that they are all the same. Many people have labeled Hispanic as illegal immigrants since a lot of people of that decent have committed that crime. The thing is after many years of hate, slurs, hate crimes most features that have been hated have become a trend. For example, the Asian eyes that Megan fox started called the fox eyes where people pull their eyes and think it’s cool/attractive which might seem harmless but it’s not after so many years even centuries of getting hated on, getting called slurs, hate crimes happing to you because of it and for now to become a trend is really infuriating. I would mention in some cases it’s always not entirely their fault for being racist because they could have been taught in that type of manner, or have been people around them could be saying slur to the point it's normalized. But they should start modifying their set of mindset which isn’t always so easy but should try their best. But there are some solutions like “Plan what to do, too, if you witness racist behavior towards someone else. If there is a threat of violence, get a teacher or some other responsible adult to step in right away.” Most likely the bully will stop or do it less, or “If the situation is not violent, speak up, says Donovan. “The most important thing,” she notes, “is not to be a bystander.” After all, she argues, “Silence is support for whatever the action is Considered saying something like: “Hey, that’s out of line.” “Cut it out.” Or, “I can’t believe you’re acting this way. You’ve got to be kidding, right?”. This won’t fix the broken plate but most times it’s more beneficial than saying nothing. So if you witness racial hate or bullying I would advise you to speak up and not be afraid or consult an adult that you trust.
