Chinese-Australian woman speaks on racism amid coronavirus outbreak
A Chinese-Australian woman says she has been on the verge of a mental breakdown since the deadly coronavirus outbreak, falling victim to racial attacks amid rising Sinophobia. Melbourne worker Lisa told 9news.com.au the racism she has experienced over the past few weeks had reached such an extreme, she no longer felt comfortable taking public transport to work. She said the Sinophobia ranged from subtle displays of fear, to more vulgar outbursts on the street. "I will take my seat on the train and the person next to me will stand up and move away," she said.
