Nobody is being racist to Chinese people over this (at least not at any real scale)

People are rightfully placing blame on China/the Chinese government for the worldwide pandemic they fricking caused

Taco Bell sells Mexican Pizza, people eat at Italian restaurants, people put American cheese on hamburgers, there’s the Spanish Flu, there are English muffins, but calling a virus that originated from China the Chinese Flu is racist? Give me a break.

Jeremy is mad that a virus that originated in China is being called the Chinese virus? Tell Jeremy Lin my Asian wife says he's a gigantic , whiny, Leftist pussy who is parroting the Communist Party line.

Trump isn't being a racist. But he knows how to dog-whistle to them.

“I wish you would powerfully support the vulnerable people that will suffer due to our mismanagement of this virus, including those that will be affected by the racism you’re empowering,” Lin wrote Wednesday from his verified Twitter account.


Maybe this clown should turn his ire towards red China for their outright deceitfulness that has allowed this disease to spread in the first place. Italy is swamped to the point of refusing to treat 80+ year old. Those people are left to die and they wouldn't be in this position if China was honest and forthcoming.

So Lin can go have a coke and smile and STFU.

Another reminder: MERS stands for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.

Did Lin comment on the Chinese govt’s accusations that the US military created this virus?
Being that he’s an American citizen this should surely trouble him.

Lebron, Yao Ming, Anthony Davis, Jeremy Lin, and Kyle Kuzma would make an unstoppable dynasty in China. Make it happen.

I'm surprised that Lin isn't complaining about the use of the older transliteration of the capital as Peiking as in Peiking Duck. So he gets a small paycheck from the Beijing Ducks. Boody who who who.

I'll just think of him (as seldom as I do) marinated in a soy, garlic and hoisin sauce, hung by the neck in an infrared glass box until someone wants a piece of him.

If Lin ain’t got toilet paper, zero fricks given.

I’m too busy dealing with this nasty arse chinese virus to worry about the 7’ blow hard with hurt feelings.

Making America Great again involves calling a lying, worthless, crooked arse Country out in front of the World...Our house, Our rules.

How is it racist? Chinese is a nationality, not an ethnicity.

They wanna keep eating dogs and bats they gonna get all they gonna get from me.

Is Spanish flu racist? How about instead of leaping to cry racism in the direction of POTUS every chance they get, why don't the left condemn the Chinese who are absolutely responsible for the spread of COVID-19. For a group of people who call themselves the "tolerant and inclusive party," it's incredible to see how badly they try to be divisive in a time like this and slander the president any chance they get.

Jeremy, Shut up and use your platform for good during this time. Take Don Lemon with you

Didn't he also say he was wasn't getting playing time because he was Chinese?


That was because of the xenophobia that arose after the 2012 Linsanity epidemic.

For fricks sake, the CHINESE call it the Wuhan virus. There is no need to run EVERYTHING the Bad Orange Man says through your little Progressive Disgronificator and spit out your little Progsplain cliché's. Sometimes a virus just originates in China.
