As the nation struggles to contain the fast-spreading coronavirus pandemic, one of the countrys largest minorities is simultaneously battling another dangerous enemy: racism. Over the past week, Asian-Americans across the U.S. have reported nearly 700 incidents of discrimination by coronavirus-inspired bigots who have attacked them online, spat on them, screamed at them in the streets and on public buses and even physically assaulted them. These are the first figures released by a new online reporting forum created this month by the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council, or A3PCON, and Chinese for Affirmative Action. One of the victims whose stories were shared this week described a disgusting incident in which a man yelled, fucking Chinese disease and spat at me hitting my coat, scarf and face. In another incident, a man threw his drink in a victims face and shouted, they should be banned and they're all disgusting, according to the complainant. Several victims also reported Uber and Lyft drivers who refused to pick them up and cashiers who told them to leave their stores.

The Trump administration has repeatedly used ethnic terms to refer to the disease, claiming its not racist. It comes from China, the president said in a recent news conference. "Thats why. It comes from China. I want to be accurate. About 12% of the incidents reported through the STOP AAPI HATE forum over the last week came from New York residents. Here in the city, several racist incidents have made headlines in recent weeks. On Wednesday, a 26-year-old Asian man waiting for the subway in Brooklyn was spat on by a stranger who blamed him for the pandemic and threatened to shoot him. You fucking Chinese, spreading the coronavirus," the attacker allegedly said. You people got the virus. On Sunday, a man was charged with a hate crime after police said he spewed racist insults at an Asian woman and stole her cellphone on a Brooklyn subway platform. The suspect yelled, Go back to China and You are dirty, get your temperature checked," before he tried to punch the 26-year-old woman, according to police.

If people could turn all of this anger towards the frat bros going out and throwing parties in the middle of all of this, that would be great.

More evidence that Trump is a fucking moron. However, the orange knobs love-slaves will claim these are false allegations and people are making it up for attention.

The vast majority of Americans would be horrified by this but are going to be lumped together with the racist assholes.

What is an "online attack"? And why are they putting it in the same category as physical assault?

it could be them making an illegal death threat, a racist slur, a racist remark, or anything of that nature.

  1. Trump is right. It did come from China. Saying that doesn't make him a moron. Shut up with that stupid shit, the people you're trying to shame by saying that are never gonna feel the way you want them to feel.
  2. Honestly ridiculous that America is full of so many stupid people who can't understand that random Asians in America aren't responsible for the disease. It's weird that we as a society don't feel more shame having people like that here, but that's one of the major drawbacks with freedom of speech.

he and his officials are going out of their way to call it the "chinese virus." they even dropped out of a referendum with the other G8 countries, specifically because the other leaders refused to refer to it as the "wuhan virus"

I'm not saying that Trump isn't making this worse(he is), but there would be racist doucheknozzles attacking Asian-Americans even if Obama was in office.

Sure, but constantly pointing it out serves no constructive purpose, Do you think he'd keep bringing it up if the virus came from The Netherlands? No, he would not.

Blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), they wasted the first 6x weeks on covering it up before admitting to it. Then 5 million

https://www.businessinsider.com/5-million-left-wuhan-before-coronavirus-quarantine-2020-1

Xi Jing-Ping gave a 24 hr window before locking down Wuhan instead of straight locking down the city. In that time, 5 million people escaped and scattered about.

It's the "CCP Virus", they're the ones who fucked up basic quarintine procedures and afflicted the world.

I hated myself for reading this. I understand the message, but it couldn't of been told in a more hacky way. I can't read passed that. But that's okay, because this is very easy to believe. People have been showing their true colors with less of a filter lately. And that's added to Trump already making Americans feel more comfortable with their racism.
