This week's reading reminds me that the new coronavirus pandemic has triggered a wave of anti Asian racism in the United States without any sign of abating. Asian Americans are spitting, harassed and insulted on the streets. Our families are no less threatened by the virus than any other family. However, many people blame the virus on Asian Americans. No matter how long they have lived in this country or what they have contributed, they are still regarded as foreigners

Asian Americans are still dangerously isolated politically. The current wave of racism provides an unprecedented opportunity for vulnerable Asian American groups to unite and strive for true equality for themselves and others. The fight can't be won on its own. The stigmatization of the epidemic has exacerbated discrimination against Chinese Asians, which is increasingly causing great concern. Recently, hate crimes and violent attacks against Asian Americans have sounded a wake-up call for the United States. Leaders at all levels and in all fields of the United States should take action to oppose racist acts against Asian Americans and end hate crimes against Asian communities. The novel coronavirus pneumonia novel coronavirus pneumonia has exacerbated the bias and stigma in the United States. American leaders should reduce the stigma and discrimination against Asian champions.

Question, how to complete the process of American Asian stigmatization
