I have seen the post asking how to get along with diverse people. As others replied, the showing off or overreaction would not be helpful. I would just consistently pour my effort to eliminate biases and to have some curiosity about other's culture and situations to understand others.
I just want to share one short example of the behavior should not be done. It is not about my current workplace. I see this behavior even before COVID-19 hits. Asian haters were existed even before COVID-19 crisis, they were hidden especially among Trumpers.
There was one person behind my cubicle. He was white and skinny. I think he is in his 30's or 40's. He was apparently kind and nice, but what he said behind is not nice.
He usually calls Asian food as trash. He sometimes deems Asians as potential industrial spies. When I see his cubicle, I saw some shocking decorations above his cubicle cabinet. It was decorated carton of pantry. The face of cook character was replaced with one of Asian colleagues. The quote written inside of the ballon is saying that one's trash could be one's dinner. I am not sure why this is above his cabinet.
I hope I would not see the person like the guy above anymore again.

He knew and hated the owner, and everyone knew it. I PIPed him later on for other unrelated work issues.
