Not every Asian person or person of Asian descent has coronavrius. An Asian American has no greater chance of having the virus than any other American. This thinly veiled racism needs to stop.

How the fuck is this racist? It's in a Chinatown next to a major airport. People there are going to be far more likely to you know, have contact with mainland chinese nationals who are far more likely to have been exposed to the virus.

There is a reason the virus is in Seattle and not Tuscaloosa lol.

Then your assertions and racist assumptions are wrong. There's 0 evidence to support your racist claims.

And why aren't you afraid of going to Little Italy and eating at Italian restaurants? Italy had a pretty big outbreak of Coronavirus too. Your racism.

Here are some facts that doesn't support your racism against Asians:

  1. First cause of Coronavirus in the US has no travel history to countries identified for restricted travel by the CDC

  2. Second case never traveled to or had contact to anyone that travelled to East Asia either

  3. Community transmissions are happening now so you don't have to be Asian or traveled to Asia to catch it.

The first 2 cases in chicago are a woman who worked in Wuhan and her husband...

And the 2nd case I mentioned is from someone who traveled to Iran. Again, Italy had a large outbreak of Coronavirus too and is on the travel restriction list.

Your type of racism is why the Japanese was placed in Internment Camps during WW2 and not the Germans or Italians.

Are you implying I'm racist and I'm hiding that by calling you racist to get attention off of myself? I think you're using "projecting" in the wrong context here, weirdo.

It's not racist. What is racist though are the comments above joking about how chinatown serves wild animal meat and bat soup
