"Covid and BTS" are both dangerous and "one is lucky to come out of it alive." Shameful to say...@jimmykimmel #Embarrassed #Disappointed pic.twitter.com/86gLO9DdYb
Bringing up Asians whenever covid is mentioned really has got to stop. It's just not acceptable.

And what makes it worse for me is saying that to an Asian person. Like, talking to an Asian about covid and being like ".... BTS" no. Absolutely no. Fxck you, @jimmykimmel.
