Even before the coronavirus took hold here, Asian Americans were reporting increased incidences of discrimination linked to the Coronavirus Spread in china. Lets take a look at whats going. Mei li is joining us today. Thank you for having me. We talked with you about two months ago back when we were still working at the station. You said things were bad then. From what you are hearing from your listeners and personal experience, how have things changed . I would love to be able to say they have gotten better, we still get daily reports about racist assaults, both verbal and physical here in the u. S. And sadly it doesnt seem to get any better. People are still pretty hostile and trying to blame china. And, of course, we know the virus came from china. Average Asian Americans are being attacked, whether or not they come from china or chinese, even cambodian, thai, vietnamese, koreans, like i am. This is something that is not letting up and is pretty heartbreaking for a sexually. It certainly is one thing that determination or recess acts happen to a person directly. I can tell you from my experience if you hear someone saying something about your people, that can still hurt very deeply. I would like to draw your attention to a comment President Trump made yesterday. Weijia jiang was asking the president about the numbers of people tested here in the u. S. And the exchange got testy and at one point the president said why dont you go ask china. Many, many people taking issue with that. Is mei lee still with us . Are you with us . Im so sorry. I thought we were going to listen to the sound unfold. I actually watched this live in my reaction was i have to say it was pretty visceral. It was an attack against her because of her ethnicity. She is chinese and raised here in the u. S. She proudly said shes chinese born west virginian. The beauty of the combination but being from asia and american which we want to protect saying we are all part of americans and we are all americans regardless of where we came from and so President Trump kind of attacking her because of her ethnicity is saying why did you ask china. She pushed back and she said why are you asking me that question. Why are you saying that specifically to me. She knew exactly what she was trying to say. She is a smart woman. We thought the president had toned down his rhetoric after saying chinese virus for a long time and then he tried to support Asian Americans. Yesterdays actions i would have to say a lot of us reacted in a negative way to that. I know you took to instagram right after you saw that live. You told your listeners and viewers to speak up and speak out. Asian pacific heritage month. A grand celebration of heritage and culture. You find people are keeping their pride quiet these days as a result of such attacks . No. The good news is because of whats happening in this country and around the world to do the pandemic and, unfortunately, what is happening against asians around the world and here in the u. S. I find that more and more agents are willing to speak up and speak out about what is happening. It not only affects asians but it brings awareness to the idea of where racism and bigotry and discrimination. Therefore Asian Americans are speaking up more and more because we all realize that this is an ongoing problem that seems to be inflamed by this pandemic. But look at what happened with Ahmaud Aubury. This is an issue that we all need to care about and we need to be aware of and also take action. We cannot sit silently by. The good news is my community as well as others and other allies are speaking up about this and are pushing back. Maybe its always good to have you. They hosted the podcast maybe show. Coming up on mornings on 2. An informal way to lay off hundreds of workers. In our next half hour how over notified employees and how the company is defending its decision. A lot of concern about possible Food Shortages during the crisis. What california farmers have to say about providing your home with milk, eggs and meat. California farmers breezy for financial losses due to the coronavirus pandemic. As brooke cheryls phone the current healthcare crisis is creating an oversupply and farmers are left on the losing end. Right now theres not a food shortage in california. And food is going to waste. Exports are drying up in schools and restaurants are not buying as much. But farmers say even with uncertainty they have to be prepared for increasing demand. Reporter a tradition carried out this california farm for five generations. Today bruce oversees a crew planting tomatoes. The season workers are wearing pants, gloves and separated by sheets of plastic and precautions to prevent the coronavirus. A lot of them are like family and we are very concerned about their health. The other thing is fear over the future of this food. These tomatoes are part of the contract with the cannery. But with restaurants and vendors buying less production may need to be cut and farmers are forced to suffer. It happened here once just weeks ago. We lost several hundred thousand dollars worth of income that we wont get. Critical crops still have to be planted now in hopes the fall harvest will pay off. I have never seen and ive been farming for almost 40 years. This kind of uncertainty and turmoil in the markets. Another big challenge is cattle and cows, many of which that have to be milk twice a day every day. My grandfather started this business in 1944 with 28 cows. A farm in manteca now has 1550 cows and an acre for each is growing feed to keep the cows happy. Meanwhile up to 10 new calves born every single day but the demand for california milk has dried up. School lunch programs have stopped ordering. Restaurants have slowed purchases. Warehouses have become overrun with inventory. We may have to cut our production back a little bit. Western united dairies which represents Dairy Farmers says the worst is yet to come. Some production plants have shut down because of an oversupply forcing farmers to spill milk that cannot be processed and take a financial hit. Thats the problem. Reporter the shift is sifting the supply change to grocery stores. They show milk, butter and cheese plummeting. Many farms could be operating near bankruptcy. If we had no insurance on our milk it would be affecting us very substantially. And most we are told dont have insurance. Some have tried to sell their cars to the beef market which is flooded with product. The secretary of agriculture addressed it had done. Our farmers have gone through quite a shock wave. They are working every day to continue the bountiful nutritious productivity that is the hallmark of california. The plan through a Government Program is to move products from farms to food banks. 128 california farmers have participated with the monthly goal of providing 21 Million Pounds of food to food banks. There are fears farmers wont financially survive in many looking for relief but delivering what is needed to keep america fed. This is in my mind the most essential industry. We have to have food for us going forward. Its us working the fields that carry the risk and burden of everchanging demand. Most of us wont notice any difference in price but we can help and support local farmers. Look for the made in california seal on Dairy Products and other products to hurt. Coming up.
