A man who was accused of telling Korean-American entrepreneur Sophia Chang, 28, to “go back to Wuhan” was fired from his job Tuesday at Prudential, a Newark-based financial advising firm, the company confirmed.
Following the incident, Chang posted the video to her Instagram where it racked up over 800,000 views. The post — which does not show the “go back to Wuhan” comment — sparked outrage, with people calling for the man to be identified and held accountable for his alleged comments. The man was identified as a financial representative for Prudential, which confirmed his firing.
Prudential has zero tolerance for discrimination and takes allegations about an incident in Newport Beach very seriously. This matter will be thoroughly investigated and appropriate action will be taken, as warranted.On Tuesday, the company said it concluded its investigation into the Newport Beach incident. “We have made the decision to end our relationship the financial representative involved,” Prudential said in a tweet.
His alleged “go back to Wuhan” comment is in reference to the Chinese city in which the Covid-19 pandemic is believed to have started. Sophia Chang is Korean American.
The ignorance is astounding.
Great job Prudential!

South Korea official shot dead by North Korean troops after crossing border: SeoulA South Korean official was shot dead after crossing a maritime border into North Korea, Seoul officials say To pa ni lepo, streljati ljudi, ki nezakonito prečkajo mejo. V Sloveniji takšne objemajo, krmijo oblačijo in se jih veselijo, kajne Fajonka? The man reportedly fell off a boat that was in the water (was reported missing). Logical conclusion would be the man tried to swim ashore to get help, and NK guards panicked and shot him to death. That’s what happens when you cross into another country without approval. What a dumb move for South Koreans to allow this..smh. North Korea owes no explanation. They have the right to protect themselves from intrusion as they see fit.
