I’m embarrassed to be his colleague. I’m so disgusted. We await his apology to the nation, the Chinese-American and #AAPI community and to his own constituents. https://t.co/eKYbffqOww— Grace Meng (@Grace4NY) March 10, 2020
FYI: Calling #COVID19 the "Wuhan Virus" is racist.— David Gura (@davidgura) March 9, 2020
The reasoning of these leftist is actually coherent when you remember that they're actually blaming Trump for a natural virus--or one produced by China in a lab.
Clearly using that logic we'd have to blame China for the disease even if it wasn't a product of a Chinese lab.
But of course unless we can prove that the virus was produced and accidentally released by China no one is going to blame China, much less Chinese Americans, for a virus.
Even worse there are many virii named after people and places.
Have you ever heard anyone saying that the name "Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever" is an attack on Coloradans?
Here's a long list of virii named after places and even peoples which no one ever thought were racist.
-Norovirus/Norwalk, Ohio— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) March 10, 2020
-West Nile Virus
-German Measles
-Ross River Fever/river in Australia
-Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever/Omsk, Russia
-Ebola/African river
-Lassa Fever/Lassa, Nigeria
-Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
-Lyme Disease/town in CT
-MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome)
Of course because Democrats are saying that everything is racist they're like the little boy who cried wolf; they're effectively desensitizing Americans to real racism.
Just like fake hate crimes, like Jussie Smollett's, make people question every hate crime--not a bad idea by the way since many are fake-- fake charges of racism lead people to ignore real acts of racism.
In doing so Democrats are hurting Blacks. But then that's nothing new. After all thousands of Blacks are shot each year in Democrat run cities and they do nothing.
It would be interesting to see what the people who are yelling racist about this are saying about left wing colleges, like Harvard, discriminating against Asian American students. Given the general silence on the left about the real racism it's possible that they're screaming racism where it doesn't exist while being silent about real racism directed against Asian Americans.
