Today I spoke to one of my mom’s Japanese friends, and she talked about foreigners coming to Japan, and she started to repeat fearmongering about how Chinese and Korean people are buying land in Japan and receiving money from the government. She even said that Prime Ministers Shinzo Abe and Fumio Kushida are Koreans (they are not, in fact, Shinzo Abe was famous for denying Japanese war crimes in Korea). Needless to say, this is worrying, especially since my family is Chinese.
This goes to show that no country is safe from propaganda in social media, and that even open minded people can be blinded by malevolent rhetoric. Please watch your loved ones and their media consumption closely and be prepared to offer better information.
The fact you believe that Asians being as xenophobic towards each other as any two Balkan states is due to Facebook memes is, itself, a pretty good indicator that it's time to take some time away from the internet.

Watch your family and their consumption closely
