Saw this thread, and it really hit a chord with me, as these similar fears tend to constantly weigh on me (for various reasons- being trans, ethnic Chinese, commie, etc).
I think we all (leftists, but also just most minorities) know, shit is bad and will get worse, it’s just a question of how bad it will get. People mention it offhand without usually going further into the details, and similarly in other spaces - non-leftist ones as well, for instance Asian diasporic and LGBT spaces in my experience, these fears come up, but ultimately we keep the bulk of our concerns to ourselves. What are our expectations here, for the west? Not just for the US, but the Anglosphere and Europe?
From what I’m seeing from Chinese students perspective, Australians seem about as bad as Americans and hate crimes have also ramped massively since COVID
Not to mention Australian media isn’t any less racist or hawkish towards Chinese
Admittedly I’ve also heard similar, not even from PRC Chinese. From Asian diasporic groups, and from friends and family (who are Singaporean).

Yes clearly your partners opinion out weighs the many hundreds of Chinese nationals posting about their experiences on social media

“my partner hasn’t experienced racism, therefore racism doesn’t exist. You are just dismissing her lived experience”
