My opinion is not based on the media.

No harm done. I am merely pointing to others, that while you guys may not have racist intents, plenty that utter the same words do, so we can’t just discount the heightened sensitivity from some, even if they are in the minority. That’s all.

But my point is that before the media hyped it up to be racist people were ok with it. After the media started saying it was racist, people began to lose their mind and started doing stupid things. See how that works? They need to be held accountable.

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.

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.

Wow I actually didn’t this debate was going on in the public. I don’t subscribe to cable at at all, so I wasn’t aware of this until now.

No wonder things got a little hot in the other thread.

It is very common to name disasters of all sorts after the region where they do the most damage or are first detected. Eg, Spanish Flu, Ebola, etc. I see nothing racist about calling it the Wuhan Flu. If it had started in Chicago, London, or Kiev, we'd have probably named it after those places. YMMV

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...

That term is offensive. The correct nomenclature is coronanal.

Hey stop saying that...your making my imaginations go wild!

I don’t want to create much panic anymore!

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