In a few months, I& #39;ve watched racism/xenophobia in China go from signs saying, "No blacks/Africans/foreigners allowed." To this: Africans are being barred from not only supermarkets, stores, & hotels, but medical treatment refused even to pregnant women.
There are Africans sleeping on the cold ground bc they& #39;ve been kicked out of Apartments they& #39;ve paid rent for & had passports seized! A narrative that ALL Africans are virus carriers is being spun so now they& #39;re facing discrimination just like during Ebola
Political cartoons going viral on Weibo calling Africans/black people "foreign trash" throwing them into dumpsters. The gov is going around testing foreigners (BUT ONLY AFRICAN foreigners)

Watch this YouTube Video: Lovelyti2002 does an incredible job of compiling the information & explaining it all. She was discussing the virus before most media would & know she& #39;s discussing this because no one else will. This is so sad to see. https://youtu.be/B8qimuPPFdc ">https://youtu.be/B8qimuPPF...
And apparently there& #39;s also videos of people being physically attacked for being foreigners. No one should be treated unfairly like this. I was mad seeing Asian people wrongly subjected to xenophobia/racism due to this virus & I& #39;m mad seeing African people experiencing it too.
Why are they& #39;re no major news outlets/health organizations talking about this? This has been brewing for a minute. Speak up about this! Please condemn this. It& #39;s not okay. Why are y& #39;all afraid to? @ABC @CNN @FoxNews
@nytimes @nypost @TheAtlantic
@WSJ @WHO @CDCgov @DrTedros

It& #39;s getting crazier. They done banned ALL BLACK people from McDonald& #39;s at a location in China. Continuing to spin this narrative & use Black ppl as a scapegoat for this virus. It& #39;s disturbing & racist. Yet, It feels like the world doesn& #39;t care tho. Sad.
Another addition to this thread...literally attempting to murder Africans/Blacks because of the racist scapegoating of blacks as coronavirus carriers. A Chinese captain threw two Tanzanians into shark infested waters to leave them to die. :( https://twitter.com/momolandtriple1/status/1252994961211117568?s=19">https://twitter.com/momolandt...
