Dear Americans,
Remember all those sick jokes about Chinese people eating dogs? That was done to other Chinese-Americans. It was meant to make them seem more alien and less human.
During the pandemic, people beat Asian-Americans to death, especially Chinese-Americans. The othering helped to make that kind of violence easier by making us/them (I'm half Asian, but not Chinese) less human.
This is the same thing, and it's done on purpose.
