Corona Virus Reflection

There has been a lot of memes, videos, news circulating the internet related to the corona virus. Some of which are funny and some of which are outright dehumanising and sad. One video that I saw which had influenced me was the video of the Chinese man that was harassed when he was riding his Uber and was let out of the car in the middle of the ring road and was left to run around like a lost dog searching for help, only to be made fun of and no one to help him. One comment that struck me the most in the comment section said “when you see Chinese people as viruses dont get mad when they see you (muslims/arabs) as terrorists.” Furthermore, i do believe that ones actions is not reflection of society as a whole, but it happened to show a biased side towards Chinese that was instilled by fear of the virus.
