“Coronavirus Racism Infected My High School” is a four-minute film that explores what happens when stereotypes and fear about Covid-19 arrive before the actual disease does? In this Opinion video, Katherine Oung, a 11th grader in Florida, shows what teenagers like her and her friends face as the coronavirus pandemic brings to the surface the racism underlying her community.
Katherine Oung says, “Historically, pandemics have stoked xenophobia.” Does this resonate with your experience of the coronavirus? What kinds of rumors, stereotypes, xenophobia and racism have you seen, heard or experienced during the outbreak?
