Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been an increasing number of reported incidents which are hate crimes, physical and verbal assault, and racist treatment of people of Chinese descent. This paper discusses the findings from an online anonymous survey, which is conducted by a Chinese American educational researcher, about discriminations against Chinese people due to Covid-19. The survey collected 114 reports from 16 countries, including Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, and USA. The reports recorded racist attacks against Chinese people all over the world, and the researcher offers propositions regarding how to take educational responsibilities and disrupt the current anti-Chinese rhetoric in the educational contexts.
