No thanks!
From the random assaults to verbal attacks, vile letters, vandalism and death threats - we’ve seen it all this pandemic. I think I speak for a number of young Asian Australians when I say that we are sick of the racism and sinophobia (anti-Chinese hatred) that have in fact been a part of our society since Australia’s inception, the remnants of which have been brought into the spotlight of late. What we’ve seen over the past year are symptoms of the anti-Asian biases and attitudes that have manifested as hateful attacks during a time when Australians are unhappy due to the coronavirus and looking for others to blame, all whilst Australia-China relations have majorly deteriorated. Whilst some of this is situational, in less capricious times we experience these symptoms as micro-aggressions: racist jokes, workplace discrimination, random harassment, demeaning stereotypes, and perpetually being viewed as foreigners. 12% of Australia’s population are of Asian descent and we are done being quiet.
- More than 8/10 Asian Australians reported discrimination during the coronavirus pandemic
- Over 30% of Chinese Australians have experienced offensive name-calling in the past 12 months
- Almost 1/5 Chinese Australians reported physical or verbal abuse since the pandemic began
- Almost 1/3 Australians blame the spread of the coronavirus to Australia on Chinese/Chinese Australians (despite only 0.35% coming from China - vast majority of imported cases came from Europe & the Americas)
- 54% of Australians expressed anxiety about catching the coronavirus from Asians (compared to 51% in the US)
- 46% of Australians would have avoided a Chinese restaurant (compared to 39% in the US)
