A man went on an anti-Asian tirade after being asked to wear a mask while riding a bus in Florida earlier this month. The incident, which was partially caught on video, occurred on a Miami-Dade Transit bus on the evening of March 9.
Lai, who is Chinese American, asked the man and his companion, a white woman, to wear masks to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.(snip) Lai told the Miami New Times. “My dad is 76, and I can’t afford to bring COVID home.”
However, the pair of commuters still refused to cover their faces. This forced Lai to turn to the driver for help. It was at that point when the man reportedly began his racist tirade. He allegedly referred to Lai with slurs such as “gook” and “chink.”
Lai decided to film the incident. The man became visibly upset, walked toward the driver and asked to be dropped off at the next stop. Lai then told the man, “Maybe you don’t need to be racist to me.” “I don’t give a f*ck what you saying, man. I got daughters older than you,” the man replied. “Mind yo’ goddamn business, Chinese lady. Ugly-a** chink. Mind yo’ goddamn business, man.”
The verbal altercation went on as the man continued to hurl slurs. At one point, Lai had to insist that she was born in the U.S. As the man prepared to drop off, he gave Lai the middle finger. “Smile for the camera. Smile for this chink,” he said. “F*ck your culture.”
Lai has since reported the incident to Miami-Dade Transit and to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. A prosecutor reportedly told her that the man cannot be prosecuted for a hate crime as “no crime” was committed in the first place.

...and take qui chai cain with you, you nosy commy witch!
Masks do nothing.
another example of white supremacy.
Meanwhile, Asian-American kids are getting screwed by publik skrewels and nobody says a peep.
Go figure.
Note to Asian-Americans: Multitask. You can and should be irate about both.
What else do we have?
That’s the same logic behind burning witches.
I wasn't talking about necessary protective equipment.
I was talking about placebo masks that do nothing to stop any disease and are a direct consequence of an act of biological warfare perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party.
Surely you are smart enough to know that?
This is the way I've been handling people with a mask fetish since last May when masking became a fad. If it's a store manager or employee who asks me to leave I turn around and walk out without a word. If it's a customer or some other busybody I just ignore them ... ignore them completely as most of the time I can't understand they're mumbling anyway.
Don’t question my intelligence. Answer me this, if mask should be eliminated, what do you propose we should do to protect ourselves from catching the virus?
Lighten up Francis.
So we all have to wear masks because Karen says so.
In N95 we trust.
(Biden working on getting that printed on the currency)
Handwashing, good health, preventative vitamins with zinc and isolation from KNOWN risks and early ivermectin or hydroxyquinone if symptomatic. Quercetin is good too, if no heart issues.
Masks are better than nothing if you have to go out and you might or might not be carrying covid to prevent your own or others’ droplets from spreading but no masks up to n95 will prevent viral particles from spreading; the pores between the fibers are too large to contain free viral particles. There is some limited benefit for masks against droplets, at least until the mask gets damp then you might as well use nothing and the mask itself may be a concentrated biohazard to others. You might as well be wearing space suits and our society will not stand for that. So know when to use masks and know when you might as well ditch them and breath the good air freely as God intended.
I’m told at work(my hospital) that the cdc is allowing up to eight people who have been vaccinated to be together maskless in work rooms and meetings. Small dinner parties may be acceptable.
You did not answer my question. You showed me a box of masks I would use if I was working with insulation. There are decent masks out there if you want them. However, it appears you don’t want any of them no matter how well they work. Again, what would you use to protect yourself from the virus?
Whatever you say, Karen.
I asked what else can we do to protect ourselves from the virus? Did you say that my question was using “the same logic behind burning witches.” Your answer does not make sense and, is not an answer to my question. So, answer my question.
Lighten up? Did you see what dfwgator said in his comment that he claims it’s a quote from “Blazing Saddles?”
You said, “the pores between the fibers are too large to contain free viral particles.” That fails to consider the electrostatic properties in the mask fibers. I have posted articles that explain this effect. If you don’t believe me, I can post them again. However, I have a sense that anything I bring forward, you will not believe. That puts the whole discussion on the level of faith rather than objective thinking.
Your sarcastic answer, “Whatever you say, Karen,” does not answer my question, if masks aren’t the answer, what do we do to protect ourselves from the virus?
So, Karen, we have to do SOMETHING, even if it doesn’t work?
