- The New virus that was originated in China, has been recently found in many cases over the U.S. Just a few days ago, it has been globally publicized. The stay-at-home order has been put in place.
- ¨The Asian community is being attacked and loitered. Many cars are being broken into and many Asian elderly are being robbed and attacked and are being called, ¨Corona Makers¨.
- I had recently heard, about the new virus. I realized, it has been originated from the Asian community. I began to wonder to myself if I was the cause of this new and ongoing virus. As an Asian, in the Asian community, I thought I was part of the blame I thought I was the blame. Due, to the fact the virus was entitled from the Asian community, I felt that it was Asians against the other communities. I felt that the whole Asian Community was the blame and had no power.
- Mom we can´t go out! We can´t risk it!
- Yes. I agree. We need to let our family members know.
- The new ¨#¨ on social has targeted the Asian community as a cause of the coronavirus. I personally felt attacked. I was scared to go out, I was worried about what others thought of me. The media flooded with racial motivational quotes towards my community. Racism takes an extravagant play don't this event.
- The Asian community has not only been targeted with words but is now being affected physically. My family and were frightened to go out, this affected all of our mental states. In addition, we didn´t let our elderly go out without one of the adults. Many events were displayed on the news, attacks were made in China town many cars were broken into in the heart of Oakland. We kept ourselves inside and were frightened to go our based off the events we heard and saw.
- Due, to the trauma my family and I have decided not to go out. We used our resources and other family members to get groceries and other items that were needed. We were always frightened that because of our race we individually would get targetted. In order to attempt to move on, we disregarded ourselves from the media and grew/improved mentally. We began to notice that racially motivated actions slowly begin to decrease. Everything was slowly getting back to, ¨normal¨.
- Soonly after this trauma, we realized we´re stronger than we know. We realized, we need to move on with our lives as we did, and we continued to block the negativity towards our race. The Asian community is unique and beautiful. I learned that you can overcome just about anything, even if you´re frightened at first. The story represented racism and how it personally affected me and my family. Racism takes a strong impact on individuals mentally and physically, although it´s your choice on how to battle it and move forward. This story reminds me that I´m stronger than I know and everyone has their battles.
