Gender inequality, misogyny, and patriarchy generated a gender ideology rooted in ancient East Asian history, society and culture against East Asian women. Worse still, along with the reactions to Chinese immigration into the United States, the overlapping oppression of gender inequality, patriarchy, and misogyny interlaced with racial discrimination against East Asian women are rooted in U.S. history. Due to the imposed stigma and portrayals of East Asian women, the government actions and mainstream media blatantly reinforce and transform this stereotype, xenophobia, and racism into a specific racial and sexual discrimination against this ethnic minority of women of color. The COVID-19 pandemic, as a catalyst, further immensely exacerbates the sentiment of Asian hate across this country. The multilayered discrimination and oppression have taken a toll on East Asian women’s somatic and mental health.
