Jarvis: Fanning the flames in a crisis

“The Chinese flu,” he called it.
It’s this kind of trash, started by former U.S. president Donald Trump, that is feeding the surge in anti-Asian racism in North America and Europe during the pandemic.
Racial slurs, threats, attacks. People of Asian descent being spit on, told to “go home.” Even children and elderly people are targeted, on the street, in grocery stores, on public transit. It has left Asian Canadians fearful for their safety.
Reports by Statistics Canada, the Chinese Canadian National Council and police in multiple cities all document the hate and the hurt.
“The fact is it comes from China,” Vander Doelen told the Windsor Star’s Dave Battagello. He’s just stating the facts, he said, just calling it what it is.
