I’m Asian, and I don’t wear a mask when outside bc I don’t want to be targeted. I do wear a mask when indoors at a store. [/quote]
Targeted for what?

I know quite a few Asians and have not heard anyone talking about being targeted.[/quote]

Are you serious? Clearly while you may call them your friends, you are not an ally. [/quote]

DP.    From this Op-Ed:  https://www.yahoo.com/news/op-ed-youre-white-dont-100010549.html

“As a healthcare reporter, I had covered America’s evolution on masks as the coronavirus spread across the globe. In January, I wrote an article about why Chinese immigrants insisted on wearing surgical and construction masks in the U.S., even though it went against official health recommendations at the time. In February, I wrote about Asian families in California clashing with schools over whether their children should be allowed to wear masks in class.

At that time, [b]Asian people wearing masks were targets for verbal and physical abuse. Attackers saw masks on Asian faces as signs of disease and invasion; people were punched and kicked, harassed on public transit, bullied at school and worse.[/b]”

"I'm an Asian American doctor on the front lines of two wars: Coronavirus and racism"

"Despite being on the front lines of this pandemic, Asian American health care workers are also subjected to this racism. Some patients have even asked my Asian nurses if someone “not from China” could take care of them."

"I treated an elderly Chinese man who had been walking in the park with a mask on when he was spit on, pushed over and kicked. He was called “dirty,” and told to “Go back to China.”"[/quote]
