As the first cases of the novel coronavirus were diagnosed in the United States, a second scourge appeared across the country: attacks on Asian Americans and Chinese Americans in particular.
I witnessed some of this personally. Last February, I was walking along East 29th Street in Manhattan when I heard a loud, raging voice. I turned to find a middle-aged white man screaming at an elderly Chinese man, “Get the [expletive] of my country, you piece of Chinese [expletive]!” The old man was stunned. So was I, before I bellowed back (deploying the full range of my native Australian vocabulary), “[Expletive] off and leave him alone, you white racist piece of [expletive]!”
The pedestrian traffic stopped. A young white guy came storming toward me. As a non-pugilist by instinct and training, I braced for what was coming. But he stopped just short of me and said, “Thank you for standing up for him.”

n 2020, Germany experienced the highest number of anti-Semitic crimes since record-keeping began in 2001, Spiegel Online reported. There were 2,275 anti-Semitic crimes last year; that is an average of six per day.
Spiegel noted that of those crimes, 55 were classified as acts of violence and 313 as propaganda-related offenses, such as displaying anti-constitutional symbols. Other crimes included insults and sedition.
The police have identified 1,367 suspects, only five have been arrested, and not a single arrest warrant has been issued. This is troubling because such lack of accountability only encourages more crimes.
Most anti-Semitic crimes can be attributed to right-wing extremists. “Of course anti-Semitism comes from all corners,” Bundestag Vice President Petra Pau told Spiegel. “But the figures clearly show that our biggest problem lies in right-wing extremism.”

As always, Chris Harrison said this would be the most dramatic season of “The Bachelor” yet. For once, he wasn’t wrong.
But it’s not the on-screen drama that’s been so explosive. On social media, a movement has errupted within Bachelor Nation that’s questioning the purpose and necessity of “The Bachelor” itself.
Harrison has temporarily stepped down from hosting the show after excusing the racist actions of contestant Rachael Kirkconnell, in an interview with Rachel Lindsay.
“By excusing historical racism, I defended it. I invoked the term ‘woke police,’ which is unacceptable,” Harrison, 49, wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday. “I am ashamed over how uninformed I was. I was wrong. I have consulted with Warner Bros. and ABC and will be stepping aside for a period of time”

Harvard History of Science professor Evelynn M. Hammonds and University of Colorado Boulder law professor Craig Konnoth discussed ways to confront racism in medicine and disparities in the delivery of health care during a virtual panel Friday.
The conversation — moderated by Michelle Morse, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School — was part of the Health Policy and Bioethics Consortia, a monthly series organized by the Medical School and the Law School that brings together experts from separate disciplines to discuss issues relating to biomedical innovation and healthcare delivery.
Konnoth and Hammonds spoke about the historical development of medical stereotypes that impact the health outcomes of Black individuals today.
Konnoth cited a belief held during the era of slavery in the United States that Black individuals are inferior to their white counterparts — a medical myth he argued continues to harm Black people today.

In the face of new waves of deaths, including those that precipitated the Black Lives Matter movement, the world is reawakening to the power of racism to kill people. These are problems have been there for centuries, but are now called pandemics — pandemics of murder, of disease and of social inequality.
The Effects of Race Project at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study started in 2013. The goal of a team of academics was to better understand the “everydayness of race” and how race thinking created durable and seemingly inescapable racialised realities in South Africa, the United States and elsewhere.
Race thinking – the idea that people belong to a race determined mostly by their skin colour – has so framed our realities that we can scarcely imagine a world without it.
But race thinking has deformed us and society because it’s based on constructs of otherness and difference. These, in turn, underpin expectations of character, intelligence, motivation and behaviour. They can pave the way for the unleashing of suspicion, derogation and dehumanisation.

Wilton Gregory made history last fall when he became the first Black American to be appointed a cardinal in the Catholic Church. And though his new position places him only one rung below the pope, Cardinal Gregory has faced plenty of discrimination in his life due to his skin color.
Gregory, 73, who oversees the archdiocese of Washington, D.C., discussed his experiences with racism with Al Roker as part of TODAY’s “Changemakers” series and in honor of Black History Month. Asked whether he’s dealt with racism during his journey through the priesthood, Gregory answered, “Oh, sure.”
“I don’t know of any African American who hasn’t tasted the bitter cup of discrimination,” he explained. “Now as long as I was formally dressed, I’m treated with great respect and affection. But if I take off my clerics to go out, to go shopping or run an errand, I’m in the pool of every other African American man in Washington.”

Shared suffering has birthed a powerful partnership.
Drawing on their shared experiences of discrimination and marginalization, Black and Jewish leaders have formed an alliance to combat racism and anti-Semitism.

Racism is a social factor that can cause a mentality of division between ethnic communities. Children can be victims of racial discrimination from an early age.
Today, even after years of political emancipation, African-American, Latinos, American-Indian and others continue to face racism’s adverse effects.
This is because the racism that may now be prevalent in some areas is structural, institutionalized, and internalized. Although race might not exist explicitly in some places as it once did, it may be implicit in individual mentalities.
The effect of racism on a child’s development can be considered a large one because it can start affecting a child’s life from the early years. With time, the negative impact can keep escalating and lead to severe damage.

Instagram said it will disable accounts that repeatedly send racist messages after soccer players in England expressed anger about being targeted with abuse.
The British government has also put pressure on social media companies, including Instagram owner Facebook, to do more to remove racists from their platforms.
Facebook pledged to disable accounts that send direct messages with abuse but declined to say why it had decided to act now, when players had been asking for tougher action for years. Players in England boycotted social media for 24 hours in 2019.
“We have always been committed to tackling hate and racism on our platform, it’s an issue we take very seriously,” Facebook content policy manager Fadzai Madzingira said in a statement.
