Daniel Dae Kim, whose family immigrated to the United States from South Korea in his youth, said this: “Yes, I’m Asian. And yes, I have coronavirus. But I did not get it from China. I got it in America, in New York City. And despite what certain political leaders want to call it, I don’t consider the place where it’s from as important as the people who are sick and dying.”
