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.
Honestly, I'm glad you posted it—my first inclination was to think like Seaplane, with the addition of a comment on alcohol sales being a sizable portion of Chinese restaurants, but I remembered a fragment of a podcast I'd heard once and went to research, and you're right: there's a LOT of data showing that Asian tourism and restaurant businesses were hit doubly hard.
