Coronavirus is not an excuse for you to be xenophobic to Asians, especially Chinese.

No matter how much you try to justify by saying "Oh it's because of the coronavirus," you cannot hide your racist ass.

The Chinese restaurants and Chinatowns in Australia are doing it tough. Reports of business down by 60%. The reason being scaremongering due to the Coronavirus. I am not sure it is because of bigotry or prejudice. However when people get scared sometimes xenophobic attitudes come to the fore.

@KiwiBird That's understandable, but some people have taken it too far, calling all Chinese dog eaters, so they get the virus. That's ignorant, unnecessary and comes from xenophobia.

@SW-User I agree with you...have seen plenty of social media comments. Even my friends in Bali are doing it tough.

@KiwiBird My Chinese friends are facing the same situation. Even I, as an Asian, get stares when I cough in public.
