No, outside of pooh bear memes in response to China getting butthurt over that one European magazine publishing the chinese flag with bacteria instead of stars.

really? what did she say?

not exactly but I have seen people be openly racist to asian people because of it, like someone I know was at a restaurant and these 2 white ladies came in and said something like "hey let's sit outside away from 'her'" and nod in the person's direction, and some people that do things like "haha better stay from that person unless you want to get corona virus!"

I remember similar things happening when the ebola virus was the big thing too, kinda sucks that some people use it as an excuse to be racist and stuff

Sort of. As usual, its toward their government though (as it should be). Most of what I hear is that theyre either covering up the real numbers (probably) or underreacting and essentially leaving a large portion of the Wuhan population to die (definitely).

Nothing against the Chinese people though. Theyre still doing the best they can.

Sure

Idk I dont buy that this is a big story, it should get less focus

so does everyone here think the numbers are being underreported?

Something about them being dirty and not knowing better

No, its getting too much coverage, its something for the media to waste time on

Heard some bad jokes about "Hot Asians".

My family refuses to order Chinese takeout now. I thought they were crazy at first but I can kinda see where theyre coming from

Ive seen a fast and the furious meme where Han walks into a room then all of a sudden, vin diesel and all the other characters have masks on.

pretty fucked up lol

mainly on website comment sections from news.com.au which seem to be moderated by bogans so its not surprising really

Had several racist boomers demand we not give them drugs manufactured in China. One lady even pulled the skin near her eyes and said she doesn't trust the Chinese because they can't see to make safe drugs and the Corona Virus is proof.
