RUSH EXCERPT:
YANG: “It’s anecdotal, obviously. We don’t have specifics on exactly how many people are experiencing this, but just on my timeline on Twitter, on other social media platforms you’re seeing a lot of people, a lot of Asian-Americans and Asians in other countries, who are experiencing I guess you could say a metaphorically cold shoulder when it comes to being in public and simply being, you know, Chinese in a crowded space. It’s something that causes people to part like the red sea, daring to cough or sneeze causes people to actually shy away from you. There is a sense in which people feel very much like there’s a kind of racial profiling occurring, simply because the disease so is far has been primarily limited in terms of fatalities.”
