Since COVID-19 several racist and discriminatory slurs have been made towards the Asian community. Whether they are of Korean, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Vietnamese, Taiwanese descent, there’s been a huge spike of violence towards them. In January 2021, an 84-year-old man was attacked and killed due to the fact that he was Asian. Even our former president has claimed that the pandemic was a “Chinese virus”. Others have called it “Kung Fu Virus” or “Chinese Coronavirus”. Even Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has used the term“Wuhan virus”. Former Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang, stated that the expression ‘Wuhan coronavirus’ will ‘stigmatize’ the country”. Several journalists and newscasters of Asian descent have been discriminated against as well. For instance, reporter Weijia Jiang asked the former president about the issues surrounding the pandemic. He said to go ask China that question. Chinese restaurants, salons, massage parlors, or markets have all been attacked in some way or another. In March 2021, a devastating shooting happened in Atlanta, where 8 people died, 6 of which were of Asian descent. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms acknowledges that this is a string of anti-Asian violence nationwide.
