Asian Man Racially Profiled On NY Subway

The fear of Coronavirus might have just birth racial profiling amongst people. An Asian man in New York City was recently harassed and racially profiled yesterday.

The Asian man felt the heat while he was about taking the subway to work. The incident was captured on video and has since gone viral.

According to reports, the Asian man was born and lived his entire life in the United States, but he is of Chinese ancestry. The man was quietly standing in the subway, when he was approached by another passenger and African American man.

The passenger told the Asian man to “get away” from him and suggested that the Asian man may be infected with the coronavirus. The angry passenger then asked other subway passengers to help him move the Asian man. He implored other subway riders, “Tell him to move.”

Then he pulled out a bottle of aerosol disinfectant and sprayed it on the Asian man. Eventually the Asian man fought back, and got in the angry passenger’s face. And it led to a tense standoff.

At the end, the short feud ended peacefully and the Asian man got off the train. Watch the trending video below :
