That part about the usage of "China/Chinese virus" emboldening supporters of the GOP... it's terrifying how one thing like that almost acts as a green light for them to express all the hate they've been holding in for who knows how long. This was excellently written, Caitlin! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I honestly just hope that people can put their money where their mouth is and show their support through more than just infographics and hashtags. Visibility is important and all but we should be seeking concrete change. Thank you for sharing actions and resources to direct readers in that direction.
It's so upsetting. I know a few friends who are Asian who have been harassed with these terms. Glad you're highlighting this issue!
