Calling COVID19 a China Virus is entirely accurate and valid. Wuhan Virus would be even more so. Trying to add levity to a nasty situation is a normal coping mechanism. People calling it racist simply do not know the real meaning of the word.
Did you order Chinese Food or Chinky Chow at all this past year?
lighten up.
Calling people racists, bigots, homophobes, xenophobes, etc is straight from the liberal playbook. When they cannot cannot win a legitimate, fact based argument, the only thing left is to label you. We must remember the left is the party of “enlightenment.” They are the most narrow minded, non inclusive group of people in this country. They’re only open mined and inclusive when you agree with them.
Fact, the left are hypocrites. When President Trump banned China travel, he was labeled a xenophobe then. Today, he should have done more. That’s the definition of hypocritical.
Fact, President Trump didn’t label this anything until China decided to blame the US Military. Had President Trump allowed that to go unchecked, the media would have jumped all over it. The headlines would have been President Trump didn’t deny China’s claims. HYPOCRITES!!!
Fact, China knew they had an outbreak. They knew this was spreading from human to human. They knew it had become uncontainable. They then lied about it, and covered it up, and muted the doctor who was trying to warn the world. If this doesn’t elicit some kind of anger towards the Chinese government, then you should pack your crap and move. They unleashed this on the world, and it has resulted in unthinkable horror for billions of people. The Chinese government must be held accountable for this. If they’re left unchecked after this, then one can only imagine how bad the next weapon they release will be.
