"Chinese people in general, have (not been) afforded the same humanity as those perpetuating these racist caricatures in the guise of public health." — @edwardhswong https://lausan.hk/2020/when-a-disease-is-racialized/">https://lausan.hk/2020/when...
"[S]ome members of the Hong Kong and other Asian diasporas are also amplifying xenophobic stories... not only missing the chance for greater solidarity; they are also actively damaging the efforts to prevent a pandemic. " — @jnchien https://lausan.hk/2020/the-danger-of-division-in-a-time-of-global-pandemic/">https://lausan.hk/2020/the-...
"[D]iscrimination against & #39;Mainlanders& #39; has also intensified... the climate of fear we have created could in fact cause far more serious damage to society than the epidemic itself." — Minnie Li https://lausan.hk/2020/epidemic-panic-and-the-ecosystem-of-public-speech/">https://lausan.hk/2020/epid...
"When paranoia, conservatism, and myopia gradually become accepted, even lauded, by the mainstream, aren’t we missing something important in this city’s collective struggle?" — Crystal https://lausan.hk/2020/i-went-to-eat-at-three-hongkongers-only-restaurants/">https://lausan.hk/2020/i-we...
"[W]ho is our movement excluding when it always insists on unity, even with racist nationalists? How can we fight Chinese nationalism without resorting to a far-right Hong Kong nationalism?" — @joymingking https://lausan.hk/2020/hong-kong-uyghur-rally-hijack/">https://lausan.hk/2020/hong...
"As leftists, we must reject both anti-Chinese rhetoric and Chinese nationalism. Nationalism and xenophobia have been used time and again to divide oppressed people across borders, and the case of Hong Kong and China is no different." — Lausan Collective https://lausan.hk/2019/between-washington-and-beijing/">https://lausan.hk/2019/betw...
"[T]his otherizing tendency also underpins persistent currents of anti-mainland nativism in Hong Kong, the abusive exclusionism of which has sometimes manifested in the 2019 protests." — @jnchien @cantnonical https://lausan.hk/2019/hong-kong-card-against-new-cold-war/">https://lausan.hk/2019/hong...
