Coronavirus spawns racist incidents at retail outlet, Asian market and Vietnamese restaurant in three cities

It never seems to end.

New York Times best selling author, artist and filmmaker Maximilian Uriarte tweeted the above photo of a man walking around with a face mask adorned with a racial slur.

It’s unclear where the photo was taken, but Uriarte lists his home base as in Santa Monica, CA.

“There’s no excuse for flagrant racism that Asian people have experienced in this pandemic,” he wrote.

In Green Bay, vandals spray painted graffiti on a van belonging to the Main Oriental Market. The words COVA could be read in huge black letters.

“This is honestly really sad,” manager Tara Yang said to WBAY. “It’s sad because this is such a devastating time in our economy and in our community that I am sad to see someone would bring such negativity to our community at this time.”

A customer heard about the incident and spent several hours helping to remove the spray paint from the van.

In Houston, a woman unleashed a screaming racist rant at the owner and employee of a Vietnamese restaurant, Vietopia, reports ABC 13.

“You, Get out of the United States, you ugly (expletive)

Sammi heard the commotion from inside the Vietopia and ran outside to see her husband and workers being berated . She pulled out her phone and began taping the rant.

There’s all kinds of people. You can’t be doing that, if you have any common sense, you can’t treat people that way. It’s just mean.”

  1. RE: Coronavirus spawns racist incidents at retail outlet, Asian grocery and Vietnamese restaurant in three cities: Even when these people find out the virus was brought over here by Europeans, they’ll still blame the Asians. Don’t think this guy’s racism stops at chinks.

    Rick Scott wants everyone to boycott anything made in China. I say do it. Then he’ll find out that almost everything is made in China.

    But there will still be Asians voting for Trump.

  2. RE: Coronavirus spawns racist incidents at retail outlet. Asian market and Vietnamese restaurant in three cities: This guy probably considers himself an “American Patriot” when the truth he is his pathetic racism is UN-American, UN-Constitutional, and UN-Patriotic. He is a disgrace to America, all Americans, and the service
