This was not a direct accusation – more an example of what he is dealing with – but it is unfortunate.
In one Instagram post about racism As Asian-Americans face, former Knicks guard Jeremy Lin said he has been called a “coronavirus” in court, citing the global epidemic that began in China.
“Being an Asian American does not mean that we do not experience poverty and racism,” Lynn, who is currently playing in the G-League bubble with the Santa Cruz Warriors, wrote in the post. “Being a 9-year NBA veteran does not protect me from being called a ‘coronavirus’ on the court.”
Lynn, 32, has been vocal about the rise in hate crimes against Asians.
“Something is changing in this generation of Asian Americans,” Lin wrote. “We are being told that we do not experience racism, we are being told to keep our heads down and not make trouble. We Asian American children are growing up and they are being asked where they really are from, our eyes are being mocked, considered foreign or said to be inherently ugly.
“We are tired of the stereotypes in Hollywood that affect our psyche and we can limit what we think. We are tired of being invisible to be mistaken for our coworker or not realizing our struggles. “
