Chinese-American here. With the trade war against China and especially the Huawei case I feel like a target more and more every day. I cant even feel comfortable about being Chinese because so many Americans see China as a threat now. It's ridiculous! What did Chinese people do to deserve all this? First we get bullied and taunted for working in factories and for being poor. Now America hates us because they fear we're going to surpass them. When can we live peacefully? Some Americans are nice and understand the flaws in both the US and Chinese government, and are able to see both sides of the issue. But some hate Huawei just for being Chinese and it shows!

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
If the war breaks, they'll send you to internment camps like they did with the Japanese.
Maybe so. I wouldnt be surprised at this point
Wow you exaggerate.
What’s the hiring bar at LinkedIn is like that u don’t understand what Chinese American means. Glad I didn’t choose to join I guys.
It's ok, maybe he didnt interact with too many non-white friends. I'm of Chinese descent but I was raised here, with American citizenship and everything. It's similar to the term "African-American"
I can feel that too and I am not Chinese but have many friends who are. Though I am not in your position, I suggest stay strong. It was Muslims before and around 9/11, many Afghans felt it. It all will pass. There will always be some dumb people, and I hope you don't give them any attention that they don't deserve. There is silent majority that understands and have felt singled out over time. Maybe it's Chinese now and it was Iranians or Russians.
Thank you my friend. If only people could live in others' skin for a day
Just pretend to be Taiwanese-American as Taiwan is ally with the US.
China has been cheating in trade for decades. Huawei is just one example of many. We should have been pushing back a long time ago. Why on Earth do you view these actions as racism from individual people? Should I accuse you of being racist for China's vastly more unfair treatment of American companies? Why on Earth as a "Chinese-AMERICAN" are you racially identifying with Chinese companies? You're ridiculous.
Idk maybe cuz I have a Chinese name? And nothing except a piece of paper is separating me from the people you consider to be your enemies? Maybe because I speak fluent Mandarin, and my parents get slurs thrown at them every day? How would you like it if someone started calling your people slurs? Then threatened to shoot you? Because that's what has happened to me. This racism didnt start when China became successful. It was still there but muted. Now it's coming out in full force. I didnt see America complaining when China was considered to be cheap.
If you are not gay, don't tell them some homophobic comments are not homophobic. Same applies here.
Don't feel that at all. I just felt getting more respect because China i so strong now.
While I don't have any issues with Chinese people I believe the government behaves unethically. - Banning Google fb or any competitive Western companies - steal of ip from Western companies - deliberate devaluing of their currency - installing spyware Not sure y no voices were raised when Google was banned
Google was banned sure, but at least the Chinese government didnt point to "dishonest Americans" as the reason why. I'm tired of people seeing Chinese people as evil.
No one is seeing Chinese people as evil. That was literally my first statement. 🙂
It's not fair. Otoh, China is bullying many countries like Canada and Philippines and trump has raised the level of ill will against Americans around the globe. Basically the worst in humanity is being stoked.
Has the US stopped being the breadbasket of the world? That’s criminal if you ask me.
Yeah. While US is helping Iraq, Iran, Syria seek liberty by throwing bombs at their people’s home. How great!
Everyone is a victim of something, you just have to find what it is. I’m glad you’ve done that OP.
It’s just the orange colored fool that thinks so. Anyone intelligent knows that China and the US need each other to prosper.
I hope you're right. Recently overheard a bunch of people at Amazon being quite loud with their distaste for Huawei...
It's the enemy du jour. Before that it were ze Russians for 3 years or so.
