Dear News Media, Stop Using Pictures of Asians in Your Stories About White People Getting Coronavirus

MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 25: A woman, wearing a respiratory mask, walks in the streets on February 25, 2020 in Milan, Italy. Italy is the last country to be hit hard by the virus with 7 dead and more than 283 infected as of today. The spread marks Europe’s biggest outbreak, prompting the Italian Government to issue draconian safety measures. (Photo by Emanuele Cremaschi/Getty Images)
Why are news outlets still using pictures of Asian people in masks in relation to stories about the Corona Virus in the US? Laziness and bigotry!
