About as many people know the difference between China and Chinese (and Oriental) as know the difference between jealousy and envy - ie, not many. They are not being racist, they just don't know the difference.

What I think cv129 is trying to say is yes, the virus did originate in China, but that does not mean all Chinese people have the virus, just as not all Asian people are Chinese, and people are associating each Chinese person to have the coronavirus and/or that the coronavirus is the Chinese people. People travel to all parts of the world everyday, including Wuhan, meaning that someone from Spain or US or another part of the world could have been at the wrong place at the wrong time in China and could have contacted the virus. Also, no one is disputing the fact that the latest coronavirus is from the Wuhan region of China, but, not everyone from the Wuhan region will have the virus.

On a separate topic, I also hear people associate the term "coronavirus" as strictly the one that originated from China, when, in fact, there have been other previous strands of the coronavirus, and the term "coronavirus" is a general term.

True, but at the same time, I don't think any Asian person was okay with being associated with having the virus all because they are simply of Asian descent, and then the media did blow this up to be bigger than what it is. But then again, when is any form of racism, direct or indirect, ever okay?

I also think the terms used by government officials (i.e. "Kung Flu", "Chinese virus", etc.) and the media made Asian people to be walking targets.

Newest Chinese gov't BSL-4 lab? In Wuhan.
Focal center for facemask production? Wuhan.
Focal center for nonwoven polypropylene? Wuhan.

Coincidence? Probably. But still...

No one can call me racist. I hate all stupid people equally. Maybe that makes me racist against stupid people?

Who in the govt called it kung flu? MSM tried to call trump on it.. but when asked who said it, they didnt have an answer...smh...Also watch the video I posted in the CV thread. It was ok to call it chinese virus until the media decided it was a good way to attack the administration.

I have a friend who works for Capital One. He's the head of his dept. They told him to work from home. So he went out and traded his small camper in and got a big Airstream camper. He's camping out in some campground in the Shenandoah Mountains. He's working from there.

What ever you want to call it. It still makes people sick.

The Kung Fu Flu sounds good to me. Because it will kick your azz.

While stupid people represent a large majority of essentially every demographic, I think that it may still be a little premature to consider stupidity a race in itself. At least for the time being..
