The constant news coverage of the coronavirus is nonstop. And with that, the constant pairing of it with imagery featuring Chinese people / Chinese food / Chinatown is, quite frankly, irresponsible given that the virus has now spread to Spain, Iran, parts of the United States, and now Italy. Also, anyone can get coronavirus. It’s not like it’s a sentient, racist virus that attacks only a certain group of people – you can be non Asian and get it.

PAX East is a week away and SONY has decided to pull out of the convention over coronavirus (aka COVID-19) fears.

Seriously?

It’s a great time be an Asian and Asian American. Coronavirus hysteria is in full force and you can feel extra long looks on you as you’re out and about.
