It legit breaks my heart to hear stories of people like Jane Yang Wu (neuroscientist) and Wang Danhao (semiconductor researcher) killing themselves after facing racially motivated harassment from the government.
When I was young, I had this idealistic dream of getting into science for the benefit of all humanity. Racism has absolutely no place in science. Aside from having no place anywhere, it's such a perversion of the ideals so many people hold. Of course it's also stupid and self defeating because of brain drain.
The US seems to be fully committed to returning to mideval times.
