'We need to stop the demonization of minorities, call out scapegoating for what it is and come together as one nation indivisible so we can beat this together,' writes former presidential candidate AndrewYang and ADL CEO JGreenblattADL.
As the fast-spreading coronavirus pandemic threatens to tax our public health systems, takes a toll on the economy and upends nearly every aspect of our lives, there’s a serious risk that the compounding public anxiety around the virus could lead to the spread of another serious contagion: the scapegoating and blaming of Asian, Jewish and other minorities for this public health crisis.
While, fortunately, none of this has yet to enter the mainstream in a significant way, there’s now a serious risk that this kind of hateful rhetoric and outright scapegoating of minorities will take on a life of its own. We know from history that at times of real crisis in society, the voices of reason and logic can be drowned out by those who wish to spread hatred or sow discord. Rarely has there been a more opportune moment to seize on fear and spread hate.
