"With 10,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus and more than 200 deaths, as
of Friday, it's no wonder many people feel anxious about the spread of
the disease and the risk of infection.
But if that isn't enough, a new problem is emerging: more and more
people are reporting racist comments and abuse from those who believe
that because the virus originated in China anyone with an Asian-looking
face is likely to spread the disease.
Before this experience, racism was something I knew existed but had only
experienced via other people's stories."
We all need to actively push back against the increased racism. People
are scared, but that is not an appropriate or acceptable response.
