Urban Chinese(城里人) are often contemptuous of internal(国内的) migrants(外地人), wherever they are from. But people from certain regions suffer higher than usual levels of negative stereotyping. Regional discrimination “is hard to see and touch” yet(表转折，但是) its impact is as painful(令人难堪的) as getting “a bloodied face(头破血流)”, said an academic quoted(引用) by a north-eastern(东北) newspaper.

People from Henan and the north-eastern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning are among those most commonly targeted, partly because(部分原因) those areas are such(加强语气，如此程度的) big sources(来源，出处) of migrants.

Some lawyers say a legal loophole is partly to blame. China’s employment law(中国劳动法) prohibits discrimination on grounds of ethnicity(民族), sex(性别), religion(宗教信仰), disability(残疾), social background(社会背景，社会地位) and health. Regional origin, however, is not mentioned(提到，说到). Some legal scholars(法学学者) and legislators have called for a wider law that would prohibit all kinds of unfair discrimination, including the region-based(基于地域) sort(一个种类).
