Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds.On a Los Angeles subway, a man proclaims Chinese people are filthy and says"every disease has ever came from China." Rampant ignorance and misinformation about the novel coronavirus, experts say, has led to racist and xenophobic attacks against fellow Americans or anyone in the United States who looks Asian.
— NYPD Hate Crimes February 5, 2020 "To which she responded, 'Yeah, yeah, OK go away,'" the witness wrote in a statement to CNN. "I started getting my phone out after I saw this interaction, but in the process, the man hit the woman on the head."The witness, who did not want to be identified to protect her privacy, said she started filming shortly after the man hit the woman on the head.
Video shows a hotel employee refusing to allow an Asian guest 01:35"Because why?" Lor asked. "Because of the coronavirus going around," he replied."And anyone from China, I am told, has to be picked up and quarantined for two weeks." That's not accurate. It's US citizens who have recently returned from China's Hubei province who must be quarantined for up to two weeks upon their return to the United States.
-- If things get ugly, is there an easy escape route? Or are you stuck in a confined area?If you're too nervous to intervene, the American Friends Service Committee suggests moving closer to the person being harassed so you can communicate your support.Duncan said it's best to let perpetrators know that harassment and attacks won't be tolerated. "The danger is if we don't speak up for each other, the number of people being targeted is going to be expanding." she said.
Don't comment on it with your own narrow eyes. China has been trying to control the epidemic, China is also doing everything it can to control the spread of the virus
That is BS. Nobody is doing that in my area and there is a huge Asian population here. We are all very concerned for the people of China and wish them well.
God bless America
That's not racism you morons, its fear of the unknown. Grow up and at least try to be a news organisation.
Where is this happening? Give us a specific story. I went to a Chinese restaurant two days ago and it was packed with customers.
For the people on here who are tying this to politics and racial profiling, STOP. this is a virus, it doesn’t discriminate. While it is sad certain ignorant people are conspiracy theorist with ZERO facts to back up their claim, most people are NOT racist bigots.
More fake news from CNN
Well thats what humanity as a whole does.
The most serious racist and xenophobic attacks against Chinese in China who are from Hubei Province. And the pain ranges from physical to verbal to financial. ..
Found this on the back of a year old Lysol Disinfectant van.
Not surprised at all . It is in your genes
Very unfortunate development
Ok well when MERS, SARS, and Corona all come from one place, how are we supposed to react?
Well it’s hard to know if the virus is here or not since the CDC has tested less than 500 people. Their numbers have stayed the same for days. People not understanding how this virus spreads. It’s not just Asians they can get it
I don’t believe it’s racism. It’s more a fear and concern for a virus which cannot be explained or treated. Viruses usually have a 21-30 gestation period. Safety first. Nothing personal
Well I guess everyone knows now what it feels like to be black in the US.
US has law against racist , but it is the most racist country in the world
Trump's not helping with his comments Parasite movie
This is why Facebook needs deleting.😏
No need to be racist, people of all races are likely to be carriers of viral plague at this point. Fear everyone equally
Look at the rampant 'racist' attacks!
Propaganda. Lol once again is perpetuating a racial divide that doesn’t exist. If you repeat it enough times the masses might actually start to believe it’s true. 🤦♀️ Coronavirus covid19
It's time for radios all across the globe to start playing 'We are the World'. Not for Africa, but for HUMANITY. ABC What's spreading faster than coronavirus in the US? Racist assaults and ignorant attacks against Asians
needs some fresh decisive topics. This one has been played out.
Whites- Mass Shooter Freaks,Blacks-Scary Thugs, Mexicans-Illegals, Middle Eastern-Terrorist, Asians-Contagious...Blah,Blah, Blah...Who's Next in the News & Social Media? Let the cycle continue...Thanks CNN!
It ain’t CNN unless they’re exploiting race for ratings.
Maybe could conduct some actual journalism and report about the humanitarian crisis right now in China! Why do they need 40 incinerators for 2k bodies? Why are they sealing up the buildings with people inside? There are SO many actual stories here and racism is NOT one!
Stay classy, America!
It's not racism. It's survival instinct. To reduce risk of getting infected by coronavirus obviously by not getting near Chinese. We dont know for sure they carry the virus or not. The virus can spread without the carrier showing any symptoms
Not that physical attacks are good, but when 90% or more of those infected by Corona are Asians are people supposed to ignore that fact?
Racism is bubbling under the surface in every country.
True. Chaos and fear is the iota of disinformation😪
I think CNNisPravda should start every story with “Rampant ignorance and disinformation “, but with a colon to separate that phrase from what comes after.
'Experts say...' The perpetrators of these 'rampant attacks' were crazy (probably homeless) people in NYC and LA. FakeNews
cnn is the number one world promoter of racism. They look for it everywhere and find it every time.
FakeNewsCNN
Beat up. People aren’t racist.
FAKE NEWS Still trying to divide the country I see Look what else you were wrong
CNN is to blame.
It's the same privileged and entitled culture that goes on the attack every time thinking that they have to police our country everything is supposed to be their way and everyone is different because they don't look like them I'm getting sick of them Satan's creation
Tuhkan emg ujung2nya lead to racism
Went to a Chinese place tonight, didn't even think of this until well, I read your post.
This is sad. Even if a disease outbreak originates from a certain part of the world, no one shouldn't blame people from that part of the world as if they intentionally started it. Disease outbreaks are usually spontaneous and unexpected. All we can do is prevent the spread.
It’s like CNN described all of the MSM in one post. Wow real news for once 😁 The real news is how do you know who you’re voting for unless you’ve read the constitution? Do you Really know your rights? You should 💯🙂
Wow always goes to race. When in doubt claim racism. Your cover didn’t illustrate anyone in there. So that means no Democrats were there either. So literally the whole country is racist. falseflag
