#AndrewYang posted an opinion piece that says to avoid #racism, it's on us Asian-Americans to show our "American-ness". I like @andrewyang2020 but he's wrong. Asians/Asian-Americans do NOT need to show their "#American-ness".
White America historically as a whole perceive us as "the other" (and still do). Asians do not need to prove anything to anyone. White America need to change their collective behavior, not us.
The #coronavirus has been weaponized to unfairly stigmatize Chinese people such as myself. Although humans discriminate upon one another, diseases don't. If there IS a duty I feel a responsibility towards, it is to protect my fellow Asians,
We strongly denounce the systematic efforts of those who attack Europeans with Asian origins over #coronavirus. This disgusting #racist & #xenophobic rhetoric divides our people & stands to threaten our shared European values. #JeNeSuisPasUnVirus @KMTaylorBerlin @MPriv_o @_LICRA_

Racist memes target Chinese eating habits, but the real causes of the coronavirus are more mundane.
