Report a hate incident

“I know we are not supposed to like anything Chinese, but...”

On private Facebook group called “Vegetarian and Vegan recipes,
[someone posted] about Asian cuisine with the disclaimer “I know we are not supposed to like anything Chinese, but...”

Some comments were questioning whether that disclaimer was made by Chinese folks in the group. What followed were a large slew of numbers of other Asians laughing and mocking the questioning and loving the disclaimer, hate speeches of long strands of justified reasons of the hate for China and Chinese people, and when we tried to ask others to stick to the recipes, more hate speech followed to justify the hate.
