AUSTIN (KXAN) — As governments around the world work to contain the spread of the Coronavirus, some Austinites say it’s affecting their daily lives here. According to the head of the Asian American Cultural Center in Austin, some Asians are experiencing discrimination stoked by fears of the deadly virus.
Amy Wong Mok, the center’s president, said one of her staff members walked into the gym the other day and coughed because she had just come in from the cold. She said people left the room or moved far away from her, treating her “like a plague.”
