While the Coronavirus poses a threat to our health a new infection is growing, racism related to the epidemic. Since the virus came to our country racism again Asian Americans has been on the rise. There have been reports of physical attacks and viral videos of verbal attacks and passive comments against Asian Americans that play into racial stereotypes and cause harm, even in our schools. There has been no help from the media or the countries leaders as they directly or indirectly play into these stereotypes and blame China and the Chinese for spreading the virus. Xenophobia has occurred with other epidemics before but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight against bullying or discrimination based on race just because the virus originated in China.
