"Being Asian at this time is terrifying because there has been multiple news that Asians are being attacked because we are to blame for this. Just because we are Asian, we are automatically associated with the virus. It also doesn’t help that our President publicly said that COVID-19 was the Chinese virus. I have a lot of anxiety leaving my house. I get scared that someone will make a comment or try to attack me."
