“…This has been the case, for example, in the context of citizenship (Ong, 1999), cultural representation (Chow, 1993;Yeh, 2014;Zuo, 2022), the model-minority-myth (Chou and Feagin, 2015) and gender (Huang, 2022;Mukkamala and Suyemoto, 2018). Publications about the Asian diaspora in Germany mainly focus on different groups of first-generation migrants involved in state-organised labour migration to West Germany since 1957 (Berner and Choi, 2006;Goel, 2019;Kataoka et al, 2012;Lee, 2021) and to East Germany since 1980 (Kocatürk-Schuster et al, 2017). In these publications, racism is described as something that is generally based on people's legal and social status as so-called "guest workers" ("Gastarbeiter*innen") or "foreign workers" ("ausländische Werkstätige").…”

In 2020, anti-Asian racism re-emerged during the coronavirus pandemic in Germany and elsewhere, manifesting in media narratives, and evoking different forms of violence and exclusion, especially in public space. Racialisation as an everyday process creates “counter-frames” by racialised groups. They are constructed in relation to institutionalised interpellation as “the other.” Building on Feagin's concept of “white framing” and “counter-framing” and Löw's concept of space, this paper discusses the effects of racialisation, coping and anti-racist resistance strategies as developed by the Asian diaspora. Social change regarding racism will be analysed through Foroutan's concept of “postmigrant society.” We based this study on a convenience sample of people with Asian heritage which we conducted in 2020 in Germany. In addition, we included a diary study for which a subset has been sampled. We argue that the pandemic influenced the formation of counter-frames against anti-Asian racism in the specific context of Berlin.
