  How covid has affected me

  Me personally has not been affected to much by covid. No one in my family or friends has even tested positive. The hard part for me is that i am not allowed to see my grandparents without wearing a mask and social distancing. My nana is ok we go to lunch and hang out sometimes but my grandparents are paranoid. Luckily my grandparents got the vaccine early with no side affects and now once we get it we will be able to see each other.

  Christmas Break 2020

  My Christmas was hardly affected at all by COVID-19. The only difference was that I did not get to see my mom's sister's family. The only reason I did not see them was because they were extremely paranoid about the virus.

  Casual Racism Towards Ethnic Asian Diaspora

  This is a short video where I asked my friend Nikko Guan to share her experiences with casual racism toward ethnic Asians at the beginning of the pandemic here in Melbourne, Australia. There was a lot of panic and misinformation surrounding the coronavirus, and a lot of people attributed the origin of the virus (Wuhan China) with the cause of the virus and harboured distrust toward anyone who looked remotely foreign or Asian. Some of my friends and acquaintances who were Asian but not even Chinese also reported similar experiences. It's especially pertinent as this also affected Asian diaspora who were born in Australia and may have never even been overseas, but are judged purely on their appearance. My friend in the interview had not been to China, or anywhere internationally, for many years. It's important that a global disaster that is the result of natural catastrophe isn't judged on malice for political or racial prejudices.
