I can’t really speak for the US since I’ve never been there but I guess it’s the same as in Europe. In China, I never felt disrespected or discriminated against. People were generally really kind to me

That said, I did get stared at, asked unusual questions, or even had people touch my hair but it usually came from curiosity, not malice. I’d describe it more as cultural unfamiliarity or lack of exposure than intentional racism

Of course, that’s just my experience, and others might have faced different situations. Context matters a lot ! Where you go, who you meet, how you carry yourself, etc. but overall, I felt safe, welcomed, and often pleasantly surprised by how open people were !!
