Maybe they’re sick and don’t want to spread their germs.

If they have a mask on, how do you know they are Asian ?

Saw this first hand while visiting daughter and son in law (USMC) then stationed in Japan. Many people wore masks as a protection and a courtesy.

They have the China Virus and are trying to be responsible and not spread it to you. Pretty obvious I thought

I was in a meeting with some vendors and 2 Asian people had medical masks on. I asked 1 if he was doctor getting ready to perform an operation. What's the deal? The Coronavirus isn't here so why the masks?
Attend the next meeting in a full on Hazmat Suit just to one-up them.

The irony is they will turn around and eat a meal family style from a big lazy susan in the middle of a table, digging their chopsticks in and taking what they want.

Here in America, each family member at the same type table each has their own meal equivalent to the size of one that would feed a whole Asian family. Because, fat.

Only uneducated idiots continue to want to call it that.

The joke wasn't funny the first 400 times it was posted on here btw.

It’s most likely because they still get their news and marching orders from the CCP and CCTV/WeChat. CCP tells them what to do and they obey, nevermind if it applies to them or not.

Every meal I’ve eaten in China the food kept coming. Sure they were being hospitable, but it was way more food than necessary.

That's been a big courtesy type thing in Asia for many years.

Most Asians when they have a cold wear a mask. You’ll also see when it’s windy, as Asians are not fans of the wind.
