Is Alexandria right that people that there's a racist sentiment against chinese people and they're avoiding their businesses?


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has backtracked her statement calling people RACIST for avoiding CHINESE RESTAURANTS and is now urging people to stop going to bars and restaurants amid the coronavirus outbreak and Trump ordered a national state of emegency.

She urged NYC residents especially healthy people 40 or younger to stop crowding bars, restaurants and public spaces and to eat their meals at home as they could be spreading the virus

On Tuesday, she rebuked the public for being arcist towards Asian businesses due to the virus outbreak and blasted new yorkers for refusing to support Asian shops and restaurants fearing infection leading to a plummet in their business

She said "Honestly, it sounds so silly to say, but there's a lot of restaurants that are feeling the pain of racism. People are literally not patronizing Chinese Restaurants. They're not patronizing asian restaurants because of just straight up racism around the coronavirus"

Several chinese business have had to shut down PERMANENTLY as a popular chinese restaurant, Jing Fong closed down due to 80% down in business

She blasted the US response to the virus stating more needs to be done after Trump claims they have the best healthcare system in the world while pointing out South Korea has tested 10,000 people per day while the US only has done a handful

She said the more powerful and wealthy you are, the more access you have to get access to testing while those who can't afford it are left behind

Is Alexandria right though that there's a racist sentiment against chinese people and they're avoiding their businesses?

She is right, so she needs to stand outside with no mask on in the middle of NYC to let us know it's not real.

Many restaurants are feeling this right now, not just Chinese or Asian places.

a diner by me thats always packed and delicious was closed today because of the virus.

another spot said business is absolutely bad right now.

a third is shortening hours and about to limit to delivery only.

this fucking nut has zero clue.

So she complains about people not going to chinese restaurants and hurting their business, and then says "people should eat at home" and not go out to eat. With all the stupid shit that comes out of her horse mouth, she's the liberal version of Trump except somehow a little bit worse.

I mean, if she's urging us not to go out to restaurants then logically restaurants (including Chinese restaurants) are gonna suffer a drop in sales.

How many other non-Chinese restaurants are shutting down over this though?

Tbf, it started in China and the Chinese in the US were obviously going to be affected first.

But shit is about to hit the fan and tons of people from all races are gonna lose their restaurants.

Alot, but Chinese restaurants are still getting ignored the worst it seems.

Tom Douglas, one of Seattles most prolific restaurateurs, announced Wednesday that he would close 12 of his 13 restaurants for at least two months after the virus had wiped out up to 90 percent of his traffic.

In New York and other cities, Chinese restaurants are suffering disproportionately, and restaurant operators say they face race-based fear. Because were Malaysian and its not, like, blatantly Chinese, that kind of saved our butts a little bit, said Moonlynn Tsai, an owner of Kopitiam on the Lower East Side, not far from New Yorks Chinatown.

You really think Chinese restaurants are the only ones affected by this? All kinds of restaurants from Italian to Mexican are closing down temporary or permanently. Here are some in my area:

Whatever affects a lot of other restaurants are now experiencing, Chinese restaurants have been experiencing for the past month and a half.

I said this in that other topic

So stay home and waste the food we are suppose to ration? When those same people are saying it's going to get worse. When worse gets here we will have less/no rationed food. Those people working need money and need to continue making a living if people don't go then they will close down the business as well. That means people losing jobs and getting hours cut, this is the opposite of what she wants, she wanted more jobs for people. Buying food and going home is the same as eating it at the place. You are exposed and exposing others if you're already infected.

She's completely lost it now.

There is being racist for specifically avoiding Chinese people, and there's avoiding restaurants because of a pandemic. They are not the same thing.

This should be obvious to anyone who isn't a moron.
