The way trump treats the media in general and more specifically Asian reporters is rude, embarrassing and uncalled for.
It isn’t it the Chinese virus.
We don’t want to get rid of them. We want more of them and welcome them. Those of you who base your opinion of an entire country and race based on a few interactions with a small section of their society are a sad lot indeed. Spend some time in their country and see how well you are treated and welcomed and you will feel embarrassed at how our society treats visitors and immigrants.
Not China, but I've been to Korea several times and I loved it. I was mostly treated very well.
However, I was routinely stared at and given dirty looks by middle aged men (my own age) as well as old "grandma" ladies, especially when I was walking with my girl there.
I didn't let it bother me one bit though. Mostly just smiled. Let it roll off my back.
Some people here are now complaining of similar treatment -- dirty looks.
I would suggest letting roll it off their backs.
But that's just my suggestion.
Note that violence or physical contact is another story altogether.
That should be reported to the police and prosecuted every time.
