After the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the racist trend in Asia, including the Chinese, has not been significant in Germany.

Even the media, which is considered the debate, was caught in the racist controversy.

Yellow Paper picked up early racist headlines.

There was even a case where a Chinese woman was kicked in the middle of the day with her hair caught on the road.

The fire sparked not only in Chinese, but also in Asians, including Koreans.

This is because it is not easy to distinguish the country of origin from appearance, and the deep rooted discrimination against Asians in general is at work.

● Racism emerged in Germany relatively calm in the new corona situation

Since the outbreak of the new coronavirus, Germany is relatively calm compared to Korea.

While there are detailed reports and hygiene on the proliferation in China and around the world, social controversy is not large.

This is true even in Europe, with 12 infected as of the 4th.

Unlike the Republic of Korea, controversy has not surfaced when a two-week quarantine of its citizens from Wuhan, China, where the virus originates.

It is regionally centered on some of the small towns in Bavaria, most of which are employees and family members of the same office.

However, the media reported that in a small town the children of Webasto employees were refused to go to kindergarten and to repair their cars.

It's hard to find citizens wearing masks on the streets of major cities like Berlin.

In Germany, wearing masks in everyday life tends to be perceived as having an infectious disease.

The German authorities are alarming that social media have posted inflammatory posts in Afghanistan and the Middle East, saying that if a new coronavirus spreads to Germany, refugees will increase and flock to Germany.

Racism is a controversial issue.

Concerns about the new coronavirus are rising, leading to a growing number of people who are not only Chinese but also Asian.

Racist perception also manifested in direct violence.

Last month, a Chinese woman in her twenties, who was heading to a subway station in Moabitt, north of Berlin, was treated at a hospital after being cursed by two women.

Police are investigating racist attacks related to the new coronavirus outbreak.

Recently, at the Frankfurt airport, a Chinese-born young man came to Hamburg, his hometown, to hear an insulting statement from a female employee at a Frankfurt airport drink counter that 'Chinese have been contaminated'.

This young man did not stop with swear words even though he protested.

There have been direct examples of racism in our community online.

One junior high school student said that he had heard a swear word in Arabic from the owner, saying, "Is it possible that I have a new coronavirus?"

At school, not only Chinese students but also Asian students such as Koreans are getting a different view.

As the situation worsened, the Korean Embassy issued a “Safety Notice” on its homepage and Facebook, stating that Asian borders and dislike atmosphere are being created.

● Place the cover of Spiegel and grind other media evaluations

The weekly magazine Spiegel, which is well known in Korea for its in-depth coverage, covered the phrase 'Made in China' in bold under 'Coronavirus' on the cover of this week.

The display picture was a red raincoat flipped over and an image of a smartphone mounted with a gas mask.

It was created with the colors of the Chinese flag inscribed with a yellow star on a red background.

Spiegel's cover story highlights China's impact on the world economy and the impact of the epidemic on the world economy.

The Chinese embassy issued a statement and criticized Spiegel: "It's no good for anyone to cause fear, finger, or even racism."

Earlier, Spiegel pointed out the Chinese authorities' issue in Wuhan, China, on the 27th of late, when the Germans returned to the country.

Spiegel's cover also appeared on chopping boards in other German media.

Conservative Divel said in an article titled "The Yellow Risk Has Returned" on Monday, criticizing that "yellow risk" is a blatant use in the European media to disparage and warn China in Europe, including Germany in the late 19th century. .

Divelt was concerned that the French regional newspaper Le Curiepicar gave the title "Yellow Alert" when he posted an article about coronavirus on the front page.

Spiegel said, "Made in China is a stigma that symbolizes low-quality, low-cost products." It's appropriate to be wary of viruses, but it's disgusting to discriminate against Asians.

Daily Berliner Tung Tung has somewhat defended Spiegel's controversy.

On the 3rd, Berliner Tung-tung said, 'The yellow danger' came from the end of the 19th century. It was related to racism, but not journalism. It's not irritating. "

Spiegel also stressed that the Liberal Democratic Party, where yellow is the symbolic color, is a "yellow hazard."

With Spiegel, Germany's leading weekly magazine, in the Progressive Tchai, a Chinese journalist and entrepreneur working between China and Germany, said, Can draw attention. "
