Which is why lefties balk at IQ data. It is just about being honest. It is honest to say that China covered up and then released human WMD on the world and have potentially caused permanent damage to our Prime Minister ir even heaven forbid death. I don't really care about their feelings. I consider it an act of war.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Only people blinded by evidence. It so researched that to deny it is in my view similar to suggesting the earth is flat. Lots of research all saying the same. It hurts feelings, but is a fact. The only question is why.
As for China. Wake up. Who gains the most from all this...for now?
I try to keep it real.
Did it originate in China? Sure... all evidence points in that direction.
Were the Chinese less than forthcoming about it in the beginning? Probably so. They're not exactly the world model for an open, communicative society.
Is it a WMD they've released? That's where the reaching begins. I'm not a fan of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.
I'll also reiterate I don't see anything wrong with calling it the Wuhan virus...... just as I don't see any issues with people calling the 1918 bug the Spanish flu.
I'm more interested in people's intent.
Except the Spanish Flu did not start in Spain it started in American Forts. It is important because naming something shapes people's reaction to it and their behaviour too. Look at AIDS originally known as GRID Gay Related Immune Deficiency and how for so long many straight people thought they could carry on without consequence. Again why is HnN1 Flu not called Swine Flu or North Carolina Flu? because idiots then go and wipe out whole herds of healthy pigs, and destroy the livelihoods of those who depend on them. Surely the case of some 2 year old Chinese kid and his parents being attacked and the attacks on Chinese communities all over the world is more important than giving Trump and his racist pals an excuse to label an entire country?
If it were man made there is probably just as much chance that it was made by the American Military in NC as the Chinese in their country.
"Naming something shapes [SUSCEPTIBLE] people's reaction to it and their behavior too." I added the word susceptible because that's who is shaped by names. Other, wiser people see names for what they are, identifiers. Nothing more... nothing less.
In the PC world spectrum, I again inhabit that mostly uninhabited region known as common sense. On one extreme are those who would argue that calling someone offensive names is ok.... as long as they don't threaten or physically touch you. On the other extreme, you have those who constantly seek out more and more names and phrases to call offensive. I'm proudly neither.
Was never aware of the GRID designation in my own circles.... would've refrained from using it knowing the truth about the disease.
In my opinion, the fact that a 2-year old Chinese kid and his parents would be attacked without provocation speaks more about the persistent pestilence of racism in the world, than about naming of viruses. Anyone moved to commit such crimes of hate and ignorance are nothing but a ticking time bomb that will be set off by any number of excuses.
It's called swine flu quite routinely https://www.wral.com/news/local/video/5867907/ 'Cary student recalls having swine flu'.....but hey what would I know about it. Also in 2009 it first appeared in Mexico. But anywho as you were, carry on.

The average white does have on average a lower IQ, but do not forget the overlap that you call me cowardly for mentioning. A smart white guy is still smarter than many Asians and the same with blacks over other groups too. There is overlap. That's why I struggle with you as you do not see that I think there are brilliant black people out there, but I don't think Broner is a good example.
Do I personally feel inferior? No, but as a group we do not have the same outcomes. For instance, Japanese longevity is better, their general health better, their infrastructure more advanced. You want gadgets then they are coming from Asia. You want a response to a Pandemic, then you want to be in an Asian country. It will hit hard but the response is much better. People are more self responsible and the coordination in place quickly.
