Because if you're a Trump supporter you're racist, right?

Too busy trying to identify as a victim. Everyone is a victim these days. Except whitey of course

Love the Kung Pao and fried rice.

Other than that, no thank you. Do not want/need your opinion.

If you don’t like it, you can fly home.

Why wasn’t he calling out Red China’s government for the coverup prior to all this. I must have missed those reports. You know the actual cause and spread of this pandemic putting the world at a standstill.

frick this shite...people need to learn personal accountability for their actions.

Chinese people caused this. Being honest about that isn't being racist nor is it an indictment of all Chinese people, but this pandemic originated in China because of actions by Chinese people.

Trillions of dollars lost globally, not to mention loss of life, and people want to get their asses all bent out of shape over what we're [correctly] calling it? Weak.

If this virus started in Alexandria La I cant think of a negative to calling it the Ellic Flu.....I don't understand why this would be offensive.

Spanish Flu? Remember that one.

Japanese Smallpox
Russian Flu
Asian Flu
Hong Kong Flu

This is just how you do it.

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


There is a clip of a black man spraying a supposed Chinese American with febreze on public transit, labeling it racist. So at least we are coming full circle.

Do you even know the meaning of the word?

a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.


Calling the illness , based off of where it started, is none of the things above. Your're confusing the word Racist with the word FACT.
