Question

Why has racism against Asian American increased during the pandemic ? How does a history of racism impact opinions today ? How can communities protect themselves from hate ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Racism against Asian Americans has grown during this pandemic as a direct consequence of its origin, since Co.vid-19 has been shown to have originated in the Wuhan region, China. This fact, added to the spread of certain myths regarding the gastronomic and health customs of Asians, makes many people end up adopting a position of rejection against Asian Americans, generalizing a behavior that, in short, has not been proven to be true. The best way for these communities to defend themselves is, in the first place, to ignore these offensive comments and, if they persist, report such conduct to the authorities.
