Yuanyuan Zhu was walking to her gym in San Francisco on March 9, thinking the workout could be her last for a while, when she noticed that a man was shouting at her. He was yelling an expletive about China. Then a bus passed, she recalled, and he screamed after it, “Run them over.”

She tried to keep her distance, but when the light changed, she was stuck waiting with him at the crosswalk. She could feel him staring at her. And then, suddenly, she felt it: his saliva hitting her face and her favorite sweater.

In shock, Ms. Zhu, who is 26 and moved to the United States from China five years ago, hurried the rest of the way to the gym. She found a corner where no one could see her, and she cried quietly.

Look, I have nothing but respect for Chinese-Americans and Asian-Americans in general. I read recently that Indian-Americans are the wealthiest ethnic group in America, with Chinese-Americans right up there as well. They do things the right way - emphasize family, hard work and education over everything else. It would be a pity if they get sucked into playing the victimology game - they don't need it. A few isolated incidents in NYC don't mean there's any systemic problem of racism against Asian-Americans - stop the nonsense.

Must be the year of the bat

Here’s an idea,call it the Hillary virus or the Democrat virus

[Mozzafiato]

In my experience in San Francisco, the perpetrator would likely be a spaced-out, meth head, homeless guy, if it happened at all. Maybe they should clean up that problem instead of passing this off as societal racism.

Where I live no one will go eat at a Chinese restaurant but have not heard of this happening.

Year of the moonbat, fer sher.

[17th Miss Regt]

Gee, I wonder if the Times had this sort of concern for the people in China that tried to raise the alarm bells over this virus that good while earlier and were very brutally silenced.

Nope. Their lives don't matter. Wrong color, you know.

[BradyLS]

That, I can believe.

[trebb]

Here we go again - folks going all “Jussie Smollet” to try to show what a bunch of racists we are.

[AppyPappy]

It’s not white people doing the attacks. Every video I have seen is missing white people

[rktman]

Unless it's a 'blm' rally. They full of guilty white folks.😁

[QualityMan]

same panty-wetting and hand-wringing crap we heard from the left about muslims being targeted after 9/11

different crisis.....same sh** from the collective leftist piehole

[trebb]

But White people have to be the instigators....it's in our genes and natures dontyaknow...

Ironic that nearly all of such cases are missing the real culprits (White People)...even though we're the worst.

[Captainpaintball]

I am working right now, and can’t look, but you are right... i want PROOF.

[mdmathis6]

I don’t know that is was staged by the old man...it might have been a planned ambush by those who watched the old man’s habits so they waited until the old man came thru again...and you can tell this because the camera was ready and every one was out by their cars or driveways...

[IronJack]

Hogwash. Fake news. The Slimes trying to create a new victim group.

[Ms Mable]

It was called China virus not Chinese virus.
China is a LOCATION not a race of people.

[urtax$@work]

covid-19 / novel-19 / Chinese Virus ??

I’m still calling it the Wuhan Virus, I check the World Wide Web daily, did i miss something...?

[L.A.Justice]

If this did happen (big if) it was likely perpetrated by one of the drunk, stoned and/or insane homeless vagabonds that infest San Francisco’s streets.

I don’t think those vagabonds care about what President Trump said about virus...I think they would act the same way even if President never mentioned “Chinese virus”...
