I don't understand the downvotes. I'm describing the personal experience of my own family, and trying to relate it to this audience.

Sometimes, people like to lump all Chinese people together as a monolith without any nuance, as though the crimes that angry mobs of poor people visited upon my family justifies the crimes committed by foreigners against my family just a little bit earlier.

There is no rhyme or reason to the suffering visited upon us by either party.
