    Nicknaming viruses based on their origin is appropriate and not at all racist. Regardless of its official name, there is value in nicknaming. Regardless if the left chooses to recognize this or not, its true.

    Let me show you how far off base you are.

    First of all, there is no chinese race, it's mongoloid.
    There is no white race, it's causcasoid
    Those black folks?? Nope, negroids or ethiopians.

    So please follow your own advice, live by your own standards and refer to people using their scientific identities.

    Thanks in advance for your anticipated cooperation.

    Which has nothing whatsoever to do with a virus.

    Try to stay on point.

    Keep calling it whatever tf you want. IDGAF.

    The bubble you are screaming it in to will continue to get smaller and smaller until it's just you shouting in the mirror.

    That’s right, you don’t GAF about anything other than protecting and defending China even if it means totally and completely ignoring the same things but with different names. For you it’s all about China and helping them save face. Do you know what would have happened to a con on this board I’d s/he defended Russia during the pee tape days like you are with the Chinese communists?

    I know, you DGAF.

    Hey guys, did you know the Chinese people who had nothing to do with the Chinavirus that the US military infected them with are being cremated while they're still alive?

    This is what the China defenders are defending and what CNN will never report.

    Attack on source in 3...2...1...

    I guarantee you that I know more about China than most, having actually lived there, and actually speaking the language.

    That said, the CCP is so wantonly corrupt and nefarious that it makes Trump look like a choirboy.

    They are the inventor of "Fake News", that is, whatever doesn't make the CCP look good is fake news.

    Sound familiar?

    I wish it wasn't so, but there are so many parables between Trump and Xi.

    Neither tolerate dissent, but Xi can actually have his disenters disappear.

    Trump only wishes he had that power.

    The CCP control all media except those that put them in a good light.

    As a result, all you hear 24/7 is what a wonderful job the CCP is doing to help the average Chinese citizen.

    Again, sound familiar?

    The way the state media talks is the exact same way that Trump and Fox talk. Jeez, the cadence with which they do it is the exact same.

    They know it's mostly BS, but they also know that they have the power to instantly silence any critic of the regime.

    Trump can only dream.

    The CCP has rewritten history so that 95% of Chinese citizens have no idea that the US gave any assistance to them during WWII.

    The CCP is the most racist government on the planet. Virtually everything that goes wrong within the country is eventually tied in some way to a foreigner, or a foreign class.

    Hmmmm, who does that, I wonder?

    Trumps condescending tone to anyone with whom he disagrees, his denigration of immigrants as the cause of all our problems, his constant attacks on the media, his "alternative facts", are all pulled straight from the CCP playbook.

    So, while I detest the Chinese government, I have come to greatly respect the Chinese people and Chinese culture.

    As for Trump, Xi is the kind of authoritarian leader he aspires to be.

    Thank the stars that we have a constitution that prevents him from becoming that.

    Unfortunately, both China and Russia had constitutions outlining presidential terms. That is, until they didn't.

    Neither Xi or Putin are "commies".

    They hold no political beliefs beyond their belief that they have been granted unlimited power.

    Jim Acosta is not about gaining new information and sharing it as a real reporter would do. He is concerned with how he can make the President of the United States look bad at any cost. He's a propagandist and should be getting paid by the Democratic Party and Globalist PAC's.

    Jim Acosta IS fake news.

    There is nothing wrong or racist at all with calling the Chinese virus the china virus.

    Nick naming viruses has always and will always be a thing as it has a practical purpose.

    It helps society as a whole remember what the virus was and where it came from in the future. That’s why its been done in the past.

    Nicknaming is very appropriate.

    Do you suspect that there is someone living under a rock somewhere who does not know this nasty seems to have originated in Wuhan? If you must have a pet name for it, why not Wuhan virus? Why make it the China virus?

    Wuhan virus is acceptable as well, some people do call it that.

    But like i said in my post, its for the future as well not just now. That’s why its always; been done.

    Edit: Actually that was another post earlier in the thread. But yea its for the future.

    Wuhan is not racist, but geographic. It is obvious that some, many, regard China Virus as racist. So, how about, if you want accuracy, you call it the Wuhan Virus?

    Saying china virus is not racist either, regardless of how some purposefully choose to claim everything is racist.

    It’s accurate enough to call it the china virus, or the Chinese virus, the wuhan virus, etc. All are acceptable.

    China is not a race. The very claim in and of itself is incredibly insulting to most Asians.

    That being said, Wuhan Virus is a fine, none racist, name for it, unless a person lives to be outraged.

    I am not buying that. You wanted future generations to know where it came from. Well, it came from Wuhan. That you choose to enlarge that into the China virus is strongly indicative of racist intent. It seems to me that those who use that term are attempting to demonise Chinese people, you know, 'they eat bats' and all that stuff. Even Trump has seen the light and has 'walked back' from using the term. Why did he do that?

    The most deadly virus on the Planet is named Hendra Virus. Hendra is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, the South Pacific. It is aptly called the Hendra virus. not the Brisbane virus, not the Queensland virus, not the Australia virus, not the South Pacific virus....the Hendra virus. Get it?

    It doesn’t matter if you “buy it” or not, its the truth regardless of your acceptance. It came from China. There is no racist intent, you claiming such is based on nothing but your desire to see everything as racist. It is absolutely appropriate to refer to it as the china virus, the Chinese virus, wuhan virus, etc.

    I get it, I dont think you do however.

    Nope, there is no racist intent there what so ever. It isn’t racist to call it the accurate name of the Chinese virus, or the china virus. It is appropriate.

    Nah, if you want to be accurate, be accurate. Call it Wuhan Virus and all these allegations of racism will go away.

    Calling it the china virus is accurate, and appropriate. I dont care about allegations of racism, they are simply wrong.

    You mean... you are not able to prove it.
    So sorry.
    I sourced that what you do is racial profiling. And you're not responding to how this differs from it.

    She's not on that corona task force. The White House kept it secret that up to 2 million people could die since January while lying around that they did not know because supposedly China is not giving the info for them to make such an estimation about how deadly it all is. With that, they put Pelosi and others in danger. Hence the US is now even contemplating on digging mass graves in public parks... that's how far Donald let it get out of hand.

    Nope. You call them anecdotes. Source stands until you're able to debunk that it was fake.
