Across the country, coronavirus fears are sparking allegations of discrimination against people of Asian descent. It's bad enough that it prompted a CDC official to warn that being Asian isn't a risk factor for coronavirus. Now some Asian Americans in Austin say they've become targets...

Flannigan says any Asian or Asian Americans targeted because of unfounded coronavirus fears should file a report with the Anti-Defamation League. "Austinites are better than this, y'all.

The left has been discriminating against Asians in college admissions for years. Funny, the govt (until trump) did not care about that.

How can you tell the difference between an Asian-American and an Asian-Asian?

UT Austin has 51k students. You can’t walk across campus without seeing Asians after Asians after a sea of Asians.

If Zebras went to China on a regular basis and socialized with large groups of other Zebras, particularly in comparison to whites, blacks, or Hispanics, who rarely go, then I’d minimize my interactions with Zebras. I have no interest in putting my life and that of my family at unnecessary risk, just to appear ‘woke’.

And because they are narcissists they cannot envision a world without them in it.

Probably fake. Liberals love to make up stories like this to turn topical issues into racial wedges.

It’s the same at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. Huge Chinese amount of students are there.

Let me get this straight: An Asian person complained because she coughed in the gym and people LEFT because of this?

OMG! Let’s open up congressional hearings!!

I drive for FedEx and my area has one of the largest Chinese communities on the East Coast. Damn right wearing a mask has been on my mind. Not because these people are Asian BUT BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE TRAVELED TO CHINA YOU DUMB FUCKS!!

Asians vote as heavily Dem as Hispanics. At least the latter are Western.
