Synopsis: The Invisible Asia Podcast is a special edition series in which The Straits Times casts the spotlight on people and communities living in the shadows of their societies where they exist largely unseen and unheard of. Do follow all nine episodes of Invisible Asia over the next two months on The Straits Times podcast channel on Apple podcasts, Spotify or Google podcasts.

The Straits Times' Hong Kong correspondent Claire Huang speaks to India-born Steven and Chinese mainlander Amy Zhang about the discrimination they face daily in Hong Kong, despite having lived there for decades. Our series' narrator is Tan Jia Ning.

The discrimination they face in public tends to be more subtle. Find out how. 

1. Micro-aggressions faced by Steven due to the colour of his skin (1:04)
2. How Steven copes with discrimination (3:46)
3. Amy remembers when mainlanders like her were treated better (7:09)
4. How Hong Kong's education policies may have contributed to the situation (9:33)
5. Chinese mainlanders still have a long way to go to gain wider acceptance (12:22)
