The Covid 19 pandemic has already made the whole human society in horrible situation. This virus is like an alien invasion just like what we've seen in most of sci-fi movies. The terrifying effects of the virus such as death, economical declination, and over all global crisis also results in to chaos.
In this kind of situation where the whole world is at stake, it is important to have unity and become one so that the formulation of plans on how to overcome and finally petrify or eradicate the virus. Sad to say it seems not happening most specially if many people allowed they hate and anger first before their rational thinking about the situation. So how are we going to fight and finally put an end to this pandemic if we humans which supposedly working together are actually hating and fighting against each other? Do we really need to find someone to blame for this crisis, or just focus and project our minds in finding the solutions for this problem? are we going to add another problem to the current problem we had which happens to be a much bigger one? This article aims to tackle about the alarming issue and the increasing case about hate crimes against Asians because of Covid 19.
Hate crimes have been a major issue since the emergence of pandemic, it's very disappointing to hear that despite of the presence of internet in which we can find detailed information about anything and learn then educate ourselves still lots of us doesn't use it to understand what is going on and choose to rely on their own thoughts and emotions instead. Because of this kind of mentality hatred and anger against other races becomes a major problem of the society specially in US.
" An 84 year old Thai immigrant died helplessly in San Francisco, California. He died after being shoved violently to the ground." The reason behind the crime is just because he was born as Asian and because the virus was originated in Asia then the crime was served. The question is, does committing the crime of violence which result to an old man's death reduce the terrifying effect of the virus? For me it doesn't change anything and the man who did the crime is simply an idiot. He didn't completely understand what the whole covid 19 problem is, he's a mad man consumed by his hatred and anger seeing and blaming other raises for this virus then submitting himself to hell by killing a defenseless old man.
Yes it is true that the virus first emerge in Asia particularly in china but thinking it thoroughly, do you think the Chinese also want this to happen? how sure are we that they would likely to sacrifice their own country and kill their own people just to create and test a deadly virus like this? surely the virus came from Asia but it doesn't mean we wanted that virus hence doesn't change the fact that we Asians are also victims of the virus itself. Hating Asians won't erase the existence of the virus. Cursing, Hurting us Physically and killing us is all for nothing because in order to put an end to this virus, we need a focus mind and a powerful will to find and develop a vaccine instead of blaming others for what has been already there and currently wiping out humanity. What we need is understanding and not stupidity.
There are a lot more cases of hate crimes against Asian and it is indeed alarming considering the fact that some of the incidents were not reported by the victims. Hate crimes doesn't only committed by those who cannot understand the situation of the humanity nowadays, in fact a video of a couple insulting an Asian-American citizen lately gone viral. The victim was conveying his sympathy to the world by means of writing on the wall using paints then while doing so a couple approaches him and claiming that he's doing wrong for he's making vandalism, the woman further explained that they know who's the owner of the property and clearly from the video the couple insulting and cursing the victim. The victim then tries to argue and called a police and the couple walked away upon noticing it. After the incidents it was clearly justified that the said property was in fact belongs to the victim and he's living there for a couple of years already. Thus the couple clearly shows an act of racism against other races.
Furthermore, the public finds out that the woman in the video is a CEO of her own beauty care company and her husband is a highly positioned agent of another company. Therefore it is quite a show for the two of them which happens to be an educated person but then they cannot understand the simplicity of our major problem. They were consumed by hate and submitted themselves into anger, disregarding their learning and commit a shameful act of man.
In this time of pandemic, poor mentality and failure to identify the real enemy of our society is foolishness, sad to say most of us choose to blame others rather than finding solutions for the present problems we have.
Remember problems need a solution and trying to hurt others just to make peace of your hate and anger will never be a solution , it will just worsen the situation leading us into chaos and not into order and peace.
