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

“Given the Trump administration’s long record of statements and actions on immigration, immigrants and issues of race…use of this term can’t but be interpreted as xenophobic and tinged with racist overtones.”

Trump Defends Using ‘Chinese Virus’ Label, Ignoring Growing Criticism

Of course it’s racist – given the fact Trump is a racist.

So....calling it the Spanish Flu, the German Measles, is racist too>....you morons......

 

[protectionist]

No link, presser on now.

What a moron. The press is full of leftwing hack idiots.

For Democrats, when when it comes to hollering "RACIST", just about any excuse will do.

 

[2aguy]

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...

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.

This is the type of stupid question you get from people who are consumed by their ideology.

 

[DGS49]

"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.

Oh stop it

Nobody cares about the biological definition of race

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.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

As long as we all apologize to Spain for the Spanish flu...that was very bad PR for a country where the virus didn't come from..

At least with this virus, it did come from China...so it makes it more satisfying to call it the Chinese flu

Does this mean I can still call it "Canadian Bacon" without being called a xenophobe?

They are to loathsome toadies like Charwin95 or IM2. But in actuality, these are NATIONALITIES.

That is why we love progressives so much. They are so fricking stupid, you cannot even quite get it through their thick skulls just how stupid they really are.

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 some way to dispute the facts so you can blame Trump

Of course it’s racist – given the fact Trump is a racist.

It has nothing to do with race, you fucking moron. It has to do with the country of China which is responsible for the whole thing in the first place.

It's astounding to watch the way leftwingers attempt to deny irrefutable facts in their zeal to attack Trump.

 

[Nostra]

What is more important? Political Correctness or overcoming Coronavirus?

It's a virus that originated in China. I think some believe it is Trump (yet again) being unnecessarily antagonistic. Me? I don't think he has the sophistication to even know he's been rude.

Why do you ignore the fact Trump was responding to China lying about this starting with our military?

You are siding with the Chicoms over the USA. Pathetic.
