'It's hysteria': Asian students at Arizona State University say they're being treated differently after a case of the Wuhan coronavirus was confirmed there

Ross D. Franklin/Associated Press

From jokes to sitting away from Asian students in class, students said that the case has changed dynamics on campus. Since a case of the coronavirus — which spread from Wuhan, China — was confirmed at Arizona State University, Asian students there have faced jokes, stares, and isolation on campus, students told Business Insider

She said that she feels bad for the way Chinese students are being treated and that "most people are ignoring it but when I do hear stuff it does bother me." An ASU spokesperson said in a statement that "we greatly value our student population from China and want them to feel at home in the ASU community as [we] do for students from any other country."

She said if she's on campus and coughs or sneezes, "people kinda look at me a second longer, I guess kind of questioning if I'm infected."

1. Trump’s “currency manipulator” claims + 2. Trump’s trade/production war + 3. Trump v. Huawei (and Europe/EU) + 4. the 2019-nCoV coronavirus = Sinophobia and if the Trump campaign spends the next 279 days stroking the fear of China into rural America, he’ll win 2020
