Abstract/Resumo
Since the 2010s, Portugal has experienced a considerable growth in the number of Chinese international students, who have been attracted by the country’s image of tolerance and openness for diversity. However, as it was
reported in other contexts, throughout the health crisis, these students were blatantly confronted with racial microaggressions in their daily routines inside and outside their higher education institutions’ facilities. Drawing on
evidence from 30 in-depth interviews conducted with Chinese international students in Portugal and following a thematic analysis approach, this paper analyses how they frame and perceive their encounters with racism in their
daily lives during the pandemic. We argue that Chinese international students resort on distinct discursive strategies to negotiate their encounters with racism during their sojourns in Portugal throughout the health crisis and
to negate their “otherness” as a racial minority in the country.
