Weiyue Lin Week 1

As the number of coronavirus cases continues to soar worldwide, so does racism and discrimination against asian-americans. The world reacted differently to the novel coronavirus. On the one hand, the Chinese government and other governments, with and without infected people, are doing their best to contain the spread of the pathogen, and on the other hand, people are responding in the most unexpected ways as always. In the face of a terrible epidemic, the only right choice for the people of the world is to unite. Rather than launch "racial discrimination" through colored glasses and even use it as an excuse to exclude people of one race or an entire region. Compared with the virus, what is more terrible is the hearts and hatred.

From the beginning, some people in neighboring Japan, South Korea, Singapore and even Hong Kong have discriminated against Chinese and overseas Chinese, which has developed to the exclusion of the entire Asian population in Europe and the United States. A thirteen-year-old Dylan Murian is an asian-american student at a local high school in Los Angeles. Because I choked when I was drinking water in class and coughed a few times, I was taken as a novel coronavirus carrier by the teacher and ordered to go to the medical room, which caused my classmates to laugh. Coronavirus provides a seemingly forgivable opportunity for racists to let loose their hatred.

So my question is: Will a temporary bill be passed to protect vulnerable groups like asian-americans?
