The COVID-19 pandemic has been tough on Asian restaurants. This holiday season, why not adopt a Jewish tradition by eating Chinese food?
Here’s a very modest proposal for the holidays: On Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, don’t toil over the stove and prepare your usual massive feast for the family. Instead, use the pandemic as an excuse to take a page from Jewish Americans and order some damn good Chinese takeout.
Your local mom-and-pop purveyor of kung pao chicken and sticky rice could probably use the business: Though all restaurants across the U.S. have suffered due to coronavirus shutdowns and restrictions, Chinese restaurants have been hit particularly hard.
According to Womply, a data subscription service, Asian American restaurants have closed at a far higher rate than non-Asian restaurants. And compared with other Asian restaurants, Chinese eateries had the highest rates of closure at 61%.
Some have suggested the dip in business is at least partially due to consumer prejudice toward Asians and Asian Americans in the wake of coronavirus.

What a ridiculous and disgusting article.
Why is the sky blue?
Make fake rules to rob Americans of their freedom to assemble, strengthen such prohibitions “for Christmas,” and then try to guilt them in to supporting Chinese restaurants that they themselves have harmed the most with lockdowns, in order to end that “nasty” Christmas tradition that many so-called “white supremacists/magas” like to celebrate.

The remaining restaurants are horrid. And they don't even have Chinese cooks.
I guess I can go to Panda Express which has the advantage that the food turns over very quickly and tends to be fresh if not authentic or particularly interesting.
The author is a PUTZ.

Go figure.
Ah, joy, another “let me live your life for you” liberal. I don’t think it’s curable.
It is a ridiculous article, And I did not know Christmas is Jewish.

oh hell no!!!!
Go to actual China and you are just not going to find egg rolls, egg foo yong and General Tso's chicken. Unless you go to an "American" restaurant.
All American creations!
That said, I don't mind the occasional foray to a Chinese restaurant. Especially when I order the Scorpion Bowl for four and drink the whole darn thing myself.
Thanks for the advice, Brittany. It is worth exactly as much as I paid for it. Now, here’s some advice for you, Ms. Wong:GFY! (That’s Go Fix Yourself, by the way.)
I didn’t have to get 2 minutes into the article and they made it all about race. God, I have had enough of these people.
