Asian Restaurants Lost Billions, in Revenue Due to Pandemic-Era, Racism, Study Says.
According to a recent study, a racially-driven stigma in the
first year of the pandemic cost Asian restaurants in the
United States an estimated $7.4 billion in revenue.
NBC reports that the study, published last week in
the journal 'Nature Human Behavior,' found that Asian restaurants lost 18.4% more than other restaurants in 2020.
Following the outbreak of the pandemic,
the U.S. saw numerous incidents of anti-Asian
racism from harassment to direct violence.
According to Stop AAPI Hate, a national coalition founded in response to growing racism, nearly 11,500 incidents were recorded between March 2020 and March 2022. .
When you have something like folks
just choosing not to eat in a Chinese
restaurant, that is something that’s a lot
more subtle and under the surface,
but it’s also a lot more common, Masha Krupenkin, assistant professor of political
science at Boston College, via NBC.
According to the study's co-author, Masha Krupenkin,
the relationship between partisanship and human behavior
is one of the most important drivers of discrimination.
People tend to really strongly follow
cues from their party leaders. So Trump
setting an example and calling COVID
'the China virus' and really laying blame
on China, I think, was one of the key
drivers of the effects that we saw,
especially among Republicans, Masha Krupenkin, assistant professor of political
science at Boston College, via NBC.
According to Krupenkin, the report found that non-Chinese Asian restaurants had even less traffic than
Chinese restaurants amid the pandemic.
The team found that this spillover of consumer
discrimination was caused by most people not knowing
the difference between different Asian cuisines

in question is still archived
on Tesla's website.
The video's tagline claims that , “The person in the driver’s seat
is only there for legal reasons. He is not
doing anything. The car is driving itself.”.
However, according to Elluswamy,
the video was created by using
3D mapping on a predetermined route. .
Elluswamy's testimony also reportedly
details how drivers intervened to take
control of cars used in the test runs. .
According to Elluswamy's testimony, when trying to
demonstrate the Model X's ability to park itself without a
driver, the car crashed into a fence in the Tesla parking lot.

Report Finds Big Tech, Transparency Reports , Fall Short.
'Fast Company' reports that Big Tech regularly
releases data meant to offer transparency into
how the world's largest platforms are being run.
This data often shares actions companies take
against inappropriate content and when they help
law enforcement at the request of governments. .
A new analysis by academics at the University of Zurich
and the University of Bern found that few tech companies
follow principles they have previously espoused.
It’s good to be well-informed about
what is happening. And right now,
it’s impossible in many aspects,
which I guess might lead to over-
and under-regulation of the platforms, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.
I think it’s not entirely obvious
what Apple would be taking down.
But actually, Apple does moderate
its App Store, for example.
We just don’t know how, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.
Similarly, the report found that Amazon moderates
what books are sold on its site, however the process
of deeming books inappropriate remains unknown.
The report also found that companies like Microsoft, LinkedIn and Twitch adhered to some of
the transparency guidelines but not all.
