Singer Meiyang Chang faces racism amid coronavirus outbreak, says he was called corona in public

The singer took to Instagram to share his experience of being called corona online and in public. "In times of crisis, some human beings devolve into the worst versions of themselves. Or maybe that was them all along? In light of the online & public #racism & discrimination against North-East Indians & the Indian-Chinese And thank you, everyone, for your unstinting humanism & love since this article broke yesterday (or today, depending on which city you are in). I’m reading your messages and I’m so, so touched by your kind words. Let’s stay united; in spirit & in philosophy. Now and always And to those stray trolls who are still spewing venom on my timeline; I say to you, as we would back in Bihar-Jharkhand..Bhak sala tum to sala mere pyar ke bhi kaabil nahi ho lekin tumko bhi dirghyaau bhavah”.Stay safe, stay healthy everyone.”
