People are accusing the CDC of stoking anti-Asian racism with 2 Instagram posts that an art expert called an 'attack on Chinese cultural heritage'
in early April titled "Weaponized Information Outbreak: A Case Study on Covid-19, Bioweapon Myths, and the Asian Conspiracy Meme."

In 24 hours, the post has racked up several thousand replies from commenters, many accusing the agency of feeding into racist "targeting" tactics.
