As racist coronavirus rhetoric fuels bigotry, advocates launch reporting tool

Episode Summary

As the coronavirus has spread, racist harassment and attacks against Asian Americans has mounted – Chinese restaurants and markets have seen declining patronage, children have been bullied by their peers for perceived links to China and transit riders reported being targeted by insults and outright violence. Cynthia Choi, co-executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action in San Francisco, says giving people a place to report acts of racist aggression can also help them feel less alone and demonstrate to governments how grave the problem really is.
