Cynthia Choi – “Trump didn’t invent, you know, anti-Asian sentiment. He’s merely perpetuating a longstanding stereotype and racist tropes about Asian Americans that have existed since we migrated to this country. And that is of being diseases, of being unhygienic about the food that we eat, our culture. The otherization that has existed in this country is merely being resurrected and rearing its ugly head again. You know, clearly the reference to the “Chinese virus” or the “kung flu” or the “Wuhan virus” goes against every public health official, including the administration’s own health officials.”
