I was in Hong Kong for a few days and ran into no discrimination of any kind. I suppose that as a tourist, I had no opportunity for it.
This was also mentioned on that HK page but for me, being a bystander is equally worse.There is discrimination there, but discrimination against non-Japanese Asians, especially Japanese-born Koreans, is far worse than discrimination against non-Asians.
