Is this a hate comment?

A lady in my building hate me. She always make angry comments to me but today she say “you still live here? I thought you went back to China. You know you people brought the Covid virus here. Is t that enough?”

I was so shock. I cannot think of anything to say. She is large and loud and ugly. If this is a hate comment I can report to building council. Police take this seriously too. Anyway I am not Chinese I am from Laos. Not the same.

The virus did start in Wuhan, China. But to blame any one group of people would be a hate crime. Or to blame someone here because they are of the same ethnicity as is that place is broad generalization that is not appropriate.

@Steve42 Not to mention Laos and China are not the same thing. Kind of like assuming all us white folk are all the same.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Agreed, it sounds like it was in a hateful spirit.
