It is stupid. Where it came from is irrelevant.

Trump massively bungled the response to it, and trying to change the narrative into something else beyond his failures.

Its not racist if youre on the right side of history. Then youre just a comedian when you say it.

It doesnt oppress anyone, or suggest superiority over them. Its far from being as potent as blackface (and isnt visual at all).

you can defend naming it after China or Wuhan, though barely. There is no defense for this one, full godsdamned stop.

It mockingly encourages racism towards the Chinese, so yeah, it's racist.

I thought this was just the punchline to one of those galaxy brain memes.

I also thought it died after a few months.

Do people unironically use this term? >_>

Racist as all hell, yes.

Putting it into context only makes it worse. Sick of these jabronis who think context ever helps trumps case.

Chinese is not a race and that isn't the proper usage of the word "Racist"

I believe "Kung Flu and Chinese virus" was racist but dont think "Wuhan Virus" was racist nor do i believe the context it was originally used in at the beginning was done in a malicious way. I believe people just simply colloquially called it that because thats where the first reports of it came from.

I honestly believe that if the first known cases were discovered in New York, we would still be calling it the NY virus to this day

But yeah, Kung Flu and Chinese Virus was definitely racist. Kung Flu was racist in the same way ppl make fun of racial stereotypes. Chinese Virus was racist because there was definitely some malicious intent and connotation ppl were trying to make when they used that term.

President Trump is on the right side of history, so I guess nobody should have a problem with his use of this term.

No he is not

I suppose if someone were to tell me that it's a racist term, I wouldn't feel a need to argue the point.

It's one of those things that if your drunk dumbass friend said it, you chuckle and move on. But the president of the United States should not be saying something like that.
He should be held to a higher standard than a drunk friend.
