    In early April 2020, Chinese authorities in the southern city of Guangzhou, Guangdong province, which has China’s largest African community, began a campaign to forcibly test Africans for the coronavirus, and ordered them to self-isolate or to quarantine in designated hotels. Landlords then evicted African residents, forcing many to sleep on the street, and hotels, shops, and restaurants refused African customers. Other foreign groups have enerally not been subjected to similar treatment.

      … said Yaqiu Wang, China researcher at Human Rights Watch.

      Great source.

      Elsewhere in China, some Africans reported police and local officials had harassed them, and hospitals and restaurants turned them away.

      Linked source is a guardian article talking about an irish person. Fuck isn’t that brilliant, HRW knows you illiterate morons won’t check. Not that ir’d much matter, there isn’t a single direct source on China force testing Africans or anything else. Just these orgs said this, diplomatic whatever that.

        Even if they did force check Africans, I’d check to see if they were in fact force checking everyone as that seems far more likely than targeting a single community for no reason.

        Though I forgot, USA #1, which means CHynabad. So clearly the US is racist as fuck, but CHina is even more racist, despite having no history of institutionalized racism, they bad guys, which means they must be more racist than the good guys!
