Op-Ed: Panic over the coronavirus recalls other racist chapters in California's history (via latimesopinion)
In the United States, racially charged panic over the virus echoes a long history of anti-Asian racism that identified Asian Americans and their businesses and neighborhoods as vectors for epidemic disease. Beginning in the 1870s, as immigration from China to the United States surged, public health officials often wrongly linked American Chinatowns to outbreaks of leprosy, smallpox, bubonic plague and tuberculosis.
As epidemiologists look to the future, they anticipate that many global epidemics will emanate from less developed parts of the world, including Asia. Successful containment will depend on broad, public support for scientists and health officials, working to disseminate accurate information about how viruses spread.
