Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed many restaurants "are feeling the pain of racism" because people are avoiding Chinese food out of fear of contracting the coronavirus.
"Honestly, it sounds almost so silly to say, but there's a lot of restaurants that are feeling the pain of racism," the New York Democrat said Tuesday night on Instagram Live. "People are literally not patroning Chinese restaurants. They're not patroning Asian restaurants because of just straight-up racism around the coronavirus."
The COVID-19 virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has hurt Chinese businesses in New York City, according to local business leaders.

Hopefully in Trump’s second term he appoints her czarina of Puerto Rico.

“patroning”
Sexist non-word. If you’re going to invent a word here, why not “matroning”, AOC?
I’m not a big tequila drinker, so I am very rarely found patronizing Patron.
It’s not racism that keeps us out of Chinese restaurants, it’s fear. It’s also the manner in which the Chinese raise and prepare their food. I love China One, but I’m staying away for now because I don’t know from where they get their food supplies. Actually I’m staying away several restaurants. Common sense.
you win the thread :) emergency MSG bwaahahahhaaaaa
Assign your gold plated, money is no object, medical coverage as a member of the House to some East Asian and see if their reaction to being secure is to bitch and whine trying to make political points.
This would be after she missed the glass, poured it on the bar and refused to offer a straw because it would end up in some sea turtle's nose. LOL
It is not surprising that she’s as illiterate as she is stupid.
She’s “idioting” herself.
