When it comes to COVID-19, the reactions of European are:
1. racist: being rude to random Asians they come across on the street, blaming them for bringing in the virus
2. anti-racism: downplaying the epidemic, claiming that it's just like the flu, and making accusations of racism against any critics of China

Some will even say the flu causes even more people died, why keep reporting about the COVID-19 not the flu?

The problem is China, the authoritarian country.

Being rude to whichever Asian you encounter is racism. Blaming China for not disclosing the information timely, however, is not. Stop discrimination but stay alert about the epidemic.

I think we human are able to handle both things at the same time.
