A poignant event 38 years ago:
On June 23, 1982, a Chinese-American engineer named Vincent Chin died in a Detroit hospital. Four nights earlier, Chin, 27, had been celebrating his bachelor party at a topless bar when two white autoworkers mistook him for being Japanese and accused him of stealing their jobs.
“It’s because of you motherf------ that we’re out of work,” they reportedly told him before bludgeoning his skull with a baseball bat. His last words, according to witnesses, were: “It’s not fair.”
Chin’s death galvanized the Asian diaspora on a scale not seen before or since. The lenient punishment his assailants received after pleading guilty to manslaughter — probation and a $3,000 fine, with no prison time — sparked protests across the country and united people from different ethnic groups. A generation of Asian Americans devoted their lives to public service, forming a host of new coalitions and civil rights organizations.
This year, Chin’s death has taken on renewed urgency as Asian American Pacific Islanders are again being scapegoated for an international crisis they have no control over: the coronavirus pandemic. Hate crimes have spiked while business at Asian restaurants has plummeted. And anti-Asian rhetoric has been endorsed at the highest level: At a Saturday rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, President Donald Trump referred to the coronavirus as the “Kung Flu.”
“We’re in another pandemic of hate,” said Renee Tajima-Peña, director of the Oscar-nominated documentary “Who Killed Vincent Chin?” and producer of the recent PBS film series “Asian Americans.” “It’s a wake-up call we’re seen as the 'other,' that 'model minority' is a wedge that helps to perpetuate systemic racism.”

OK so Asian people have been insulted by idiots. Thats bad we all agree. But 500,000 people globally have died from a Chinese virus.
Is their some sick moral equivalency in your head or is one worse than the other.
Actually, most deaths in Europe and the United States now appear to have resulted from a European mutated version of the virus.

Doc, did you help with the nursing home protocols for pandemic outbreaks? What did event 201 recommend? Wouldn't it make sense to lock down nursing home staffs, away from their families. To protect grandfolks? Did you write that policy?
It doesn't exist. Dr. Fauci, in 2005, and $7 billionn later , there IS a plan, a pandemic plan?
Did you also recommend that every single state provide lawsuit protection during this time? Which includes NON- v-19 screwups.....
YOU are to blame for this. You, your university, bloomberg, etc. Like Hopkins first man down against UNC, this spring........a man short. Or, THAT must have been tRumps fault too?
I give you permission to borrow this recommendation, from FATTY 420 event held recently.
In the event of a declared pandemic ALL workers having patient to patient contact in licensed nursing homes, facilities, etc. even hospices, MUST wear PPE's at all times.
Could it be any easier?
But, nope....YOU and your white collar welfare....and it IS white (no blacks invited to event 201 , typical racists like Hopkins, not shocking. ) us SHAYSIANS know who to blame. Oh, tRumps on the list, but he's not a real player in all of this. But, you know that. Because, you know everything. Except what to tell nursing homes what to do when a pandemic comes.
