So, aptly describing something as what it is is now considered racist? That person is likely to starve to death before long.

I'm really wanting a good mushroom and swiss burger. When do they open and where can I sign up on the list to get in?

Wuhan Virus is more accurate.

I will never understand why some people choose to get so worked up over something so insignificant. So stupid.

It's hilarious because xenophobia is likely a evolutionary/societal strategy employed to prevent "the others" from bringing in new diseases to your group.

Also, China is not a race of people. It is a country and landmass. This would be the appropriate way to call the virus. "Chinese virus" is the actual, more "racist" way to use it.

It's like calling Canada Geese "Canadas" rather than "Canadians."



Edit to add:
Then again, we do call plants Chinese Privet and Japanese Climbing Fern, and there are Cuban Treefrogs.


Also, I can tell from the downvotes that people don't realize I'm not condemning the sign, and saying that true xenophobia at the onset might have spared the world from this outbreak.

Too soon for a parking lot comment after Dujulios bought out Rama.

I think it's funny, because it's a joke.

I predict some sort of crawfishing on George’s part.

I never knew BR had such thin-skinned PC crowds. There may be more HH's than we realize.

I lived near George’s for a year, I doubt any of their actual patrons give a shite about this. It’s like a coffee shop in the Bywater having “resist” shite up

Poor decision-making when you’ve got an entire staff depending on the place for a paycheck. I’m all for making statements but this is foolish to do at such a precarious time for all restaurants.

This. I'd like to see the sign he probably really wanted to put up.
