People in some countries still do it and sometimes they don't even understand it is racist. Like, I remember we learned removed kid songs and rhymes in kindergarten here. Or that other rhyme that was like "Chinese are yellow and molasses is sweet, that's the order of things and it won't change", just weird shit like that because people like 50 years ago had never even seen a Chinese person, let alone talked to them, so they only knew the stereotypes about them, and some people are still not very aware.
And to think, people used to tell me I was exaggerating about the fact that people still do this

Even before the pandemic Anti-Asian racism got a lot more of a pass than many other forms of racism.
Ironically, I think the recent spate of anti-Asian hate crimes has reminded a lot of libs that this shit isn't okay and it's gotten a little better.
Time will tell if it'll hold up.
