Africans who have come in the tens of thousands to China and India as students and businessmen, petty merchants and backpackers, complain of persistent racism.
In February, a Tanzanian woman was stripped and beaten by a mob in Bangalore after a Sudanese man, in an entirely separate incident, was believed to have hit a local with his car.
Last year, an Indian publication put together a moving, sad video of testimony from African students and professionals about their experience of daily discrimination. It also includes footage of a mob in a Delhi metro station attacking three black men with sticks, while chanting nationalist slogans.
"It's like I have a disease," says one student in the video.
In China, it's a similar picture. An African-American English teacher recounted his students complaining about their instructor: "I don't want to look at his black face all night," one said.
Africans, whether on university campuses or elsewhere, across the country have also been subject to attack and abuse. Growing merchant communities in certain cities, such as in the southern metropolis of Guangzhou, rub up against a wider population that is ethnically homogeneous and largely unfamiliar with the diversity and history of black populations elsewhere.
The African community in Guangzhou has taken to the streets to protest unfair treatment on a number of occasions, including the death of a Nigerian man fleeing a police raid and after another man died mysteriously in police custody.
While India is home to a dizzyingly diverse, multi-ethnic and multilingual society, prejudice abounds. Africans experience the same crude cocktail of ignorance and bias toward "whiteness" as their counterparts in China.
