True, but at the same time, I don't think any Asian person was okay with being associated with having the virus all because they are simply of Asian descent, and then the media did blow this up to be bigger than what it is. But then again, when is any form of racism, direct or indirect, ever okay?

I also think the terms used by government officials (i.e. "Kung Flu", "Chinese virus", etc.) and the media made Asian people to be walking targets.
