With many cases on the rise, COVID-19 is bringing about two types of crises: a global health pandemic, and an increase in xenophobic and anti-Chinese/anti-Asian racism, discrimination, harassment, bullying, and violent attacks. How do we combat these sentiments and behaviors in the age of the Coronavirus?
