People who look like Chinese, and the real Chinese people, will face discrimination for many many years to come because of this pandemic. This is true not only in India, but all over the western world. people blame China for starting this virus which may or may not be true.
Indians will be warm towards others as long as they don’t view them as a prejudiced threat. The moment they think it’s a threat and mind you, all for the wrong reasons, like a Muslim, NE Indian, Dalit, JNU, then all the hate and vile comes out and makes them look petty and very and medieval minded…
Not only racism, North Easterners had to even face violence from Muslims in India, during the Rohingya crisis. Many North Easterners had to leave cities like Bengaluru because local governments failed to protect them from the terror of Muslims.
Nonsense attitude, this need to be corrected through awareness but people of these states also needs to understand and look at how they themselves treat non-locals in their state. Recent example of attacks in Meghalaya shows that.
