Some media clown just asked Trump if saying the Coronavirus came from China is racist.

"Chinese" is not a race. "Mexican" is not a race. "Jew" is not a race. "Muslim" is not a race.

Asian is a race. It includes humans from a large number of countries, including China, Japan, the Korea's, etc.

The Corona Virus originated in China through no fault of anyone in particular, then it spread locally and AROUND THE WORLD through the negligence (or lack of appropriate diligence) of the Chinese government, and it now plagues the world (though not so much China anymore).

There is nothing "racist" about identifying this virus according to its origin - the COUNTRY (not the "race") of China.

Thank you for your kind attention. Fuck you very much.

But that's what's implied by calling it the "Chinese" virus. It's about singling out and assigning blame. The WHO and CDC call it COVID-19 (short form). Nowhere on any official site do I see it called the Wuhan or Chinese virus. Just on right wing media. There's a reason for that. Deep seeded mistrust and hatred of anyone who doesn't look like you, think like you, or believe what you believe.
The virus already has a name......Coronavirus or COVID 19

So why would Trump start calling it Chinese virus?

My best guess is he does not want to be blamed for the spread so he wants to blame China

Can’t have it called TRUMPvirus can we?
 
All Trump wants is for everyone to believe it's not his fault
Why do you leftwing scumbags always believe someone needs to be blamed? You just revealed your sociopath mentality, China is to blame for the spread of the virus. Nothing could be more irrefutable. However, You need someway to dispute the facts so you can blame Trump
You're wrong, BP, the leftwing scumbags don't always believe someone needs to be blamed. Only when a republican is in charge! When democrats are running things, well, then, ah, er,... they STILL think republicans are to blame!

BTW, when SARS-1 (2003) came out, having never seen the symptoms before, they misidentified it as another (non-viral) illness. The original sick person checked into a hotel, spread it to a bunch of other people, then from there, it went around the world.

Here are good examples of racism...

All from blob supporters such as yourself. You’re welcome
 
All Trump wants is for everyone to believe it's not his fault, everything is great, tremendous on his part, and for all his supporters to act like him and parrot all he says.
yep....

he ran out of people to blame for it... first Obama, Biden.... and that didn't work out well so now, on lt the last week or so, Pres Trump is calling it ''The Chinese Virus''.....

He did not call COVID19 or the corona virus the CHINESE virus, until he wore out Obama/Biden....

I do not think he is doing such to be racist, he just can't go through life without having an enemy to trash and blame.

The Chinese Americans here are now being discriminated against, due to this virus already... Trump's comments only makes it worse...

but I am not certain he even understands this or cares... his goal is to deflect from himself, by having someone to blame and distract from his own or administration's failures and shortcomings imho...
Link to this discrimination against Chinese Americans?

Moron....53 times the democrat party members in the press called it the Wuhan or Chinese virus before they decided to call Trump a racist for calling it the Chinese Virus.....you know....the truth....

Nolte: 53 Times the Establishment Media Said 'Chinese' or 'Wuhan' Virus

The Chinese are desperate to blame the American military for this outbreak, and as commander-in-chief, Trump is absolutely correct to set the record straight.

Nevertheless, even as President Trump announced something as consequential as invoking the Defense Production Act, like a couple of bratty girls, staffers at PBS and NBC attacked Trump at his Wednesday briefing as racist for accurately pointing out where the virus originated.
--------

Sorry, these are just not serious people.

To begin with, as has been previously documented, there is longstanding precedent for naming a disease or virus after the place it originated, or where it was located, or where a notable outbreak occurred. This includes lily-white Lyme, Connecticut — home of Lyme Disease.

So, suddenly, this long-held practice that does not discriminate … does?

Of course not. But here we are, staring down the throat of a worldwide pandemic that has already shut down our economy, and the media simply refuse to take the crisis seriously, choosing instead to continue to play their partisan gotcha games.

As you will see below, between the written list (which has been floating around for a while) and the video compilation, we’re talking about at least 53 times. And you know there are more instances out there…

The practice of selling wild meat in China caused this. They deserve 100% of the blame.

Can’t have it called TRUMPvirus can we?

China claims that it didn't originate there, and that it was "planted" there by US soldiers. So should we call it the 'US Soldier Virus"?

China is the center of the corona virus outbreak. Period! WHO to reconsider declaring global emergency as China virus evacuations begin
Virus-hit Wuhan has two laboratories linked to Chinese bio-warfare program

By all means don't name the name that is the source of this global pandemic if it makes you squeamish or guilty feeling.
But don't expect others to pay any attention to you at all.

And in addition we get the conspiracy theory topping to go with the requisite racial sundae....mmmmm.
 
Do you care that referring to a bug from where it comes from, is not racism, and never had been?
Not only that but technically this cannot even be called "racism" (as much as that hurts some people looking for childish names to hurl) as the Chinese nation and people are not a race at all.
Sucks to be a whiny leftist complainer.

In modern usage, “racist” often means any policy or opinion with which a LIbEral disagrees, especially when a LIbEral is badly losing an argument over any such policy.

Nothing wrong with blaming the blameworthy.

So true. China is an authoritarian hell hole with no regard for human rights at all.

Funny how some people will try to defend China no matter what they do.
 
Oh stop it

Nobody cares about the biological definition of race
Because you hate actual science.

Indeed, that's how we get such insane nonsense as “transgenderism”, by “not caring” about the biological definition of sex, and hating the actual science that clearly defines sex.

Those on the left wrong, for all the empty lip service that they pay to “science” when they think it helps their agenda (which it never actually does) hate truth, and hate science, and hate anything that doesn't support the insane, immoral, unethical, and outright evil policies and positions that they wish to promote.

Wrongwinger is here admitting, in a limited context, something that his kind rarely admit, that science means nothing to him.

Technically you are correct. What it's closer to is bigotry. By calling it the Chinese virus, it gives you comfort that you have someone you can assign blame to. So the next time you see a Chinese person, you can give them more distance, have an excuse not to frequent their shops or restaurants, and blame them by extension for something that originated in a country that they may not have even been born in. They just happen to be Chinese. It's that herd mentality that the right wing in this country gravitates to, mostly because they don't care for anyone who isn't white, heterosexual, and doesn't believe in a Christian god.
