Yep. It really is the biggest enemy of all. Never mind blatant evil. At least that is easy to morally stand up to and counter. Ignorance is mundane, boring, omnipresent, and seemingly benign. It is so incredibly dangerous because it sneaks up when you least expect it.
Somebody as in a random citizen or somebody of actual importance? Because I'm sure the former has already happened
Foreigner? Some of the victims were actually born and raised in the US.Oh wait so perpetual foreigner syndrome is a thing? WOW.
I'm sure it's already been suggested.
This isn't only happening outside of Asia. I know it's at least happening in Hong Kong. Restaurant customers have gone down a lot since the outbreak, which is actually in contrast to the markets because more people have been shopping at wet markets so that they can buy groceries and not have to go to restaurants.
Talking heads and people in the GOP that are too stupid to realize what they would be suggesting.
Perpetual foreigner syndrome is the idea that it doesn't matter how long you've been here or if you were born here, you're still treated like you just got here a week ago.
Being Asian just seems to be enough for most people to catch shit from this. Most racists don't really care enough to get into specifics.
Like talking to you is gonna give them the virus. People are fucking crazy
It's kinda the trifecta of dumbass here in the ol' US where dummies don't pay attention in health class about how diseases transmit(school dum), want the freedom to choose their own health insurance cuz 'fuck you', and have the nerve to act racist out of fear because of this piled up lack of knowledge as if it will protect them. What a bunch of asshats.
Honestly, I feel like if an outbreak does occur, it's more likely going to be caused by someone who hasn't been to china or interacted with people who had been there recently than the other way around because the most likely vector for an actual outbreak is someone who caught it second hand in another country and then wasn't screened for the disease because they didn't seem high risk. Anyone who's actually been travelling to or from China during a relevant time frame is going to be screened heavily right now so I feel like it's pretty unlikely one of those people would slip under the radar and cause an incident in the same way
They're flatout cheaper. Both types of markets also tend to sell different foods.
Each week when i take the bus into the office (i work from home usually) i keep hoping someone wouldnt sit next to me so i have the free space. But hasnt happen yet unfortunately.
Probably not. An ex coworker of mine is a Trump supporter said Trump should round the Chinese up into camps and this was before the virus, because the whole world is at war with China. The kicker is he's Vietnamese and Im like dude you think they're going to make the distinction if they start doing that?
