In the
Western world or in non-
Asian countries, terms such as "racism against Asians" or "anti-Asian racism" are typically used in reference to
racist policies,
discrimination against, and mistreatment of
Asian people and Asian immigrants by institutions and/or non-Asian people.[1][2]
Overview
The concept of 'racism against Asians' is most common in communities or countries where the ethnic or racial majority is non-Asian, or it is most common in communities or countries where the national character is
Western. The concept is most frequently employed in reference to Anti-Asian phenomena which exist in countries which are located outside the Asian continent, such as countries which are located in
Africa,
Europe,
North America and
South America.
Othered into being seen as "brown", a categorization which was extended to Southeast Asians.[31]
There has been an increase in the amount of psychological or mental distress which has been caused by the aforementioned factors.[32][33][34] Myopic depictions of Asian cultures continues to be a problem.[35]
Additionally,
racism in Asia (racist attitudes which Asians have towards each other as well as racist attitudes which Asians have towards non-Asians) is also impacted by differences in nationality as well as regional differences.
