From another article about this:
Quote:Anecdotal reports from a local media outlet say that there has been an increase in racist remarks targeted toward Asians, including a Chinese-American restaurant owner who was “verbally assaulted with coronavirus-related slurs before being physically attacked toward the end of February.”
A similar resolution has been proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives, which was co-sponsored by eight of the 13 Democrats in the Texas delegation.
The House resolution cites a stabbing that took place at a Sam’s Club in Midland, Texas, where a man attempted to stab to death an Asian-American family, including two young children, because he thought they were “Chinese and infecting people with the coronavirus.”
An off-duty border patrol agent and a Sam’s Club employee stepped in to stop the attack.
