If you say wuhan virus you are a racist and xenophobic

[TitoFan]

To answer the thread title... no... if you say wuhan virus doesn't necessarily mean you're racist or xenophobic.

It's just a name, ffs. You don't hear anyone asking the same questions about the Spanish Flu of 1918. Probably because people didn't concern themselves with such nonsense back in those days.

Here's what I think.

If you say Wuhan virus and you're already a racist or a xenophobic, then you're racist or xenophobic.

If you say Wuhan virus and you're not..... then you're not.

Simple but does the job.

Well damn speaking of China I just read the government reports 205 million people having trouble finding work now that wuhan virus restrictions are being lifted. So if China admits to 205 million could be close to 300 million. That isn’t good China has a type of unemployment but it’s only accessible to certain people. There really aren’t many safety nets. That is a large number to be concerned about China will have to think of something they have a very big fear of social unrest

Have not heard it called that until now. At least with Coronavirus you got some pretty cool beer memes out of it . Given the actual impact and death toll what it actually makes you sound like isn't at the top of the cares list. But fact is loons and kooks can grab onto labels and stereotypes like "Chinese Virus" and stab Asian families in a Texas grocery store, including a 2 year old. We should start naming all of our imports after the Cities where they are manufactured for kicks. Man that would be an eye opener.

Thank God where I live there is a distinct shortage of loons and kooks.

Yes, we need to ban violent video games and movies as well. We will show those kooks. We will make them normal by completely changing our behavior

Video games are not promoted and advertised by a Government and the worlds largest known political 'leader' seeking favoritism and votes just months away.

I’m not running for anything. I say wuhan as that’s where it started. Period.

Mmk clearly I wasn't referring to you . You can call it the General Chow chicken imported death mist if you like. But hey I played a Judas Priest album backwards once and didn't kill anyone either.

Well at least we know Walrus shit stirs on his watch forum too. Consistent. Stop causing trouble. You know full well the consequences of this rhetoric. It's unnecessary.

Fuck them and the horse they road in on, the horse named wuhan

I know saying "Kung-flu" is kinda cute but clearly racist. lololol..... and the thing what pisses me is we have Chinese people in my town have been the first to wear masks. lolol.... These mutherfuckers THEY created the damn virus and they have been the ones in my country wearing the mask? lolol... like we should be afraid of you and not the other way around.

But I am glad no racist backlash has been taking place because clearly it is what Trump is drumming for and for what the people are desperately wanting against the Chinese.

Sure thing YK, it ain't that the Chinese government lied about this and allowed it to get out of control it's that Trump hates the Chinese people who are only 1 race "Chinese"



Lot of folks assume the worst of Trump and the media feeds that narrative it's bullshit.

I think you will find that Trump feeds his own narrative all day, every day. He boasts about how much he controls it all over Twitter, the TV, Facefook, everywhere. He is being briefed everyday and he still can't tell the difference between a Viral and Bacterial infection. He is calling it super smart, 'a genius' and descending into a kind of madness in front of the world, and here you are still defending the guy.

Trump and Boris both will have to answer for letting it get so out of control, just as much as the Chinese will. The time for tribalism has gone and passed. Things are never going to be quite the same ever again.

The Tories are actually up 4% to 54%.

You are much noisier about Tories than anything else too, particularly China. Why is that? All that Trump stuff? Why do you not use the same language for say Xi ,the man who allowed sick people on planes to pass on something that was covered up since...November and whose nation along with the CHO lied? Why is Taiwan who responded the BEST sidelined? They could have given great advice unlike China. WHO, Feb 4th: No controls on travel or trade. Why? A nationalist would have given the finger, lives would have been saved.
