The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the United States in many ways, particularly causing resentment toward China and Asians in general. Regardless of whether one is Chinese or not, if they look Asian, they may be a victim of discrimination because of this resentment. Trump’s famously coined “kung flu” as a racist term for the coronavirus only fueled this hate crimes against Asians. Furthermore the extent of some Americans' knowledge or exposure of Asian culture is simply American Chinese takeout. Many Americans have limited knowledge of Asian and Chinese culture in general, and during the pandemic, this limited knowledge created hatred, resentment, and fear. So to showcase this sentiment during the pandemic, I made a Kung Pao Chicken takeout box with "Kung Flu Chicken" overflowing from it.
