Chinese descent in the United States during Coronavirus Pandemic 2019

This essay examines the discrimination people of Chinese heritage encountered while living in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the impacts of the pandemic on individuals of Chinese descent and to highlight the need for social and policy changes to address discrimination. The historical event examined is the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in late 2019 and continues to affect today’s world. The virus originated in Wuhan, China, and led to increased anti-Asian sentiment and discrimination against individuals of Chinese descent globally, particularly in the United States, where such prejudice has a long history.

The pandemic boosted anti-Asian sentiment and discrimination against individuals of Chinese descent in the United States. This group was vulnerable due to long-standing stereotypes and the perpetuation of the “perpetual foreigner” narrative. Many faced verbal and physical harassment and exclusion from public spaces and employment opportunities. The prejudice experienced by individuals of Chinese descent during the pandemic continues to affect their mental and physical health. Research has indicated that among young Asian and Asian American adults, post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms are predicted with perceived COVID-19-related discrimination.

Likewise, Asian American and Asian Canadian professionals have had to resist and combat workplace racial violence because of the effects of prejudice in educational and professional contexts. In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has shed light on racism and prejudice toward individuals of Chinese descent in the United States. Addressing and combating these harmful attitudes is essential to create a more inclusive and equitable society. Keywords: Chinese descent, COVID-19, prejudice, discrimination, perpetual foreigner, mental health.
