If you strip away all the posturing and politics, I guarantee that the root cause of all this is that certain demographics of this country are in deep denial over the state of the world, and cannot bring themselves to admit that both the United States and their precious way of life is vulnerable to change and disruption. I guarantee that most of them remember the first SARs - and the constant footage of Asian crowds all masked up - and thought to themselves 'boy, I sure am glad nothing like that ever happens in America!' So every time such people see someone else wearing a mask, it's a sore reminder that yes, those kinds of things can happen in America, and will continue happening in America as we go further into the 21st Century. And they're simply not emotionally equipped to deal with that.
