Article Claims Koreans Being Discriminated Against in the U.S. Over Coronavirus Fears
It took long then I expected, but here is the inevitable article about how racist Americans are towards Koreans because of the coronavirus:
Koreans in US discriminated over coronavirus
Starting last week, Kathy Yang has been getting a weird feeling while carrying on her daily business.

”At work, at Costco, at the doctor’s office…I keep getting this odd feeling that people are looking at me in a way unlike before,” said the 41-year-old, who works as a bank teller in the Bay Area. ”Their facial expression looks as if they’re trying to decipher if I’m sick or not.”
So far, only 11 cases of the China-originated coronavirus have been confirmed in the U.S. But fear and racism over the new and unpredictable virus appear to be spreading faster than the virus itself.
”I’ve lived in the U.S. for more than 15 years and this is the first time I’ve felt discriminated to this level on so many occasions in such a short period of time,” said Yang.
Many others living in the U.S. say they’ve also been racially victimized because of the virus.

I was in a large Chinese grocery store in Ann Arbor, Michigan last weekend-easily half the Chinese people in there were wearing masks. How many of those students and others just got back from the New Year Holiday in China? My wife has been oblivious to this whole situation until she got in that store, and now she’s scared to death of going in any Chinese place now. Watching the wall-to-wall panic on the Korean TV isn’t helping her attitude at all, either.
Choosing to live in the Bay Area was her first mistake.
China f’d the world. Cry me a river…
Caucasians in Asia are being discriminated against when they don’t wear a mask like the other sheep.
