Just another false claim by the mainstream media.
Most Chinese restaurants have a tremendous take out business. These restaurants were set up to do well in a take out atmosphere such as a pandemic.
Many other restaurants had to adapt to take out quickly to survive. Many couldn't or wouldn't adapt.
I will admit all restaurants took a big hit but to ignore existence of racism is just putting your head in the sand.
I'm done here, didn't mean to turn this into a political bash fest.
