Stark reality of anti-Asian racism in the UK | Letter
As a woman who is half Malaysian-Chinese and half white, I have spent my entire life being exoticised and stereotyped, writes Alex Smith
After reading about the shocking and heartbreaking news of the Atlanta shootings (FBI under pressure to tackle anti-Asian hate crime in wake of Atlanta shootings, 18 March), I can’t help but reflect on the prevalence of racism towards east and south-east Asians in our own country. The UK is rife with it. Covid-19 hasn’t caused the racism towards British east Asians and south-east Asians, as the UK media likes to claim. It’s always been here – the virus has just aggravated it and given racists supposed “legitimacy”.
