That was always the case before COVID. So if you see an Asian person wearing a mask, it usually means because they have a sniffle and they don't want to give it to you.

It wasn't. It definitely was not as widespread. And in China, at least, it's more you wear a mask because you are sick and you don't want to. And in Japan as well.
