When I first saw the word "racialization", I wondered about the difference between racism and racialization. From the definition, racism is "poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race" and racialization is "the act or process of imbuing a person with a consciousness of race distinctions or of giving a racial character to something or making it serve racist ends" (Merriam-Webster). In other words, racialization can be said as a part of racism. Many people have suffered for decades to remove from the society, and people do not discriminate other races at least publicly, but it has not been fully removed. Even though there is a reason why Chinese people take part in gold farming, people with racialized views do not consider their situations and instead become hostile towards Chinese people and even Asian people. The important fact is that we cannot generalize people's characteristics according to their race, but some people seem to become illogical in this case.
