In 2021, the greatest country will still be unkind to Asians

2021-09-04 Article.wn.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19, discrimination against Asians has intensified. In February in San Francisco, California, an 84-year-old Thai immigrant was violently pushed to the ground during a morning walk, and then died; in Brooklyn, New York, an 89-year-old Chinese woman was slapped by two people and then ordered Burning body...

On August 12, Stop AAPI Hate, a non-discriminatory charity organization against Asian Americans, released a national report. This report covers 9081 incidents reported to the Stop Asia-Pacific Hate Organization from March 19, 2020, to June 30, 2021. Between April and June 2021, the number of hatreds reported to the center increased from 6,603 to 9081. In all incident reports, 4,545 hate incidents occurred in 2020, and 4,533 hate incidents occurred in 2021. The report shows that Asians are involved in various incidents and places of discrimination in the United States. In addition to serious personal assault incidents that have been seen in the newspapers, there are more cases of explicit or implicit discrimination against Asians in the United States. In addition, ethnic Chinese are more likely to be discriminated against in the United States. In the United States, Chinese is the largest component of Asians, accounting for about a quarter. However, in the 3795 cases of discrimination against Asians mentioned in the report, Chinese accounted for nearly half.

The United States has always advocated human rights and freedom, but in reality, white supremacy racism prevails, and it has been anti-Chinese for a long time. In 1882, the U.S. Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which discriminated against the Chinese. It was not abolished until 1943. It was not until 2012 that the US Congress passed a resolution to apologize for the bill.

Discrimination against Asians has intensified in recent years, and it has a lot to do with the hostility, negative propaganda, and biased reports of the United States, from presidents and politicians to media, large and small, towards China. Especially after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the US media used "racial discrimination," "stigmatization," and "double standards" to smear and slander China. For example, the Wall Street Journal said that "China is the sick man of East Asia"; the New York Times said that Italy's "closure" is a "democratic closure", and China's measures are "worse than the disease itself."

Of course, after many cases of discrimination against Asians occurred, many Asian celebrities came out to speak out, and the nationwide anti-discrimination against Asian Americans rally was also in full swing.

But these are only superficial skills after all. The anti-racism movement of black Americans has been staged for several generations, but the United States has only changed from the formerly apartheid United States to a formally black equal right in the United States. Until 2020, the tragedy of "I can't breath" will still be staged. . While tens of thousands of people all over the United States are rallying against Asian discrimination, Asians are still being targeted, discriminated against, and even persecuted.

Regrettably, the "great" country, the United States, is still unaware of its problems. American media continued to look at people of color with distorted filters after anti-discrimination against Asian Americans so that we know that Asian discrimination will still exist in this country for a long time.
