As Corona 19 spreads all over the world, racist rants and assaults are taking place all over Asia. Korean Americans in the US also conveyed a different atmosphere.

I'm correspondent Washington.

A hotel in Indiana, USA.

When an Asian male asks for a room, the staff asks if he is a Chinese.

[I need to know if I'm from China. (Why?) Because coronavirus is in epidemic. I heard that anyone from China should be quarantined for two weeks.]

The man went to another hotel nearby but was denied staying because he was also Asian.

[(Do you not give room to Chinese or Asian?) Yes. (Why not?) The hotel president ordered it.]

White men pour out racist remarks against Thai women in the Los Angeles subway.

[All diseases are from China. The Chinese are disgusted. They bring disease to the United States.]

In the New York subway, a masked Asian woman was assaulted by a black man who was "ill".

Anxiety over the spread of Corona 19 has increased and hate crimes against Asians have soared across the country.

Korean Americans are no exception.

[Jane Kim / Family Koreans: Many people have been told, 'You are from China or are you infected with coronavirus?' It's a serious racism, and you shouldn't.]

As the number of patients infected with Corona 19 increased in the United States to 53, the US government is expected to take a closer look at South Korea's spreading epidemic and prevention status, and decide whether to take further measures, such as restrictions on entry.
