Grateful for this timely message from the Premier.

Last night, I received an email that began w, "anyone want Chinese tonight," followed by a photo of snakes & pangolins in cages, some accusations & epithets, and a declaration that I was now their "new target for my invective". https://twitter.com/jjhorgan/status/1263911254952824832

Here is another I'll share to emphasize that racism is everyone's business.

There is no group on earth for which a diatribe like this could not be put together. Normalizing hate on such basis puts everyone at risk, because there is always another group that can be demonized.

Critique governments and regimes without blaming everyone who looks like they might be from that place. Disapprove of specific practices without assuming everyone with that heritage is personally responsible. Fight inequality without using racial scapegoats. #RacismIsAVirus
