I will choose “Coronavirus&Yellow Peril” by Amanda Yee as my framework. Here, the question that arises is about the coronavirus that occurred in China. When I read this excerpt, I found that most reporters have already commented on this The virus itself has serious prejudices. However, China’s slowly starting economic recovery stimulated the nerves of Western countries, which led to those ignorant comments. For the story, I chose Alice Tsui’s “Tired”. During this period, in Western society China started targeting Asians, and they started verbal attacks. For resources, I chose “Wash your hands” by Malaka Ghairab. This is a way to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
I agree with you that Americas fear and ignorance made racist people even more volatile. Some of those stories were really sad.
