After criticizing the Texas governor s decision to lift the state s mask mandate during a CNN interview last week, Mike Nguyen found tables and chairs outside his business were covered in anti-mask and anti-Asian messages spray-painted in red, with phrases such as Go back 2 China and No masks, a local CBS outlet reported. The funny thing is, I’m not even Chinese, I’m half-Vietnamese, half-French,” Nguyen said outside his restaurant Sunday.
