@shavixmir said🤣 shaved Brazilian version.
There’s a British, a South African and possibly a Brazilian (shaved?) version of Covid-19 sweeping many countries.
Are these terms equally racist as “The Chinese virus”?
The post that was quoted here has been removedYour reality is as warped as that of a trump supporter.
Seriously. There maybe one or two people on this forum with an anti-Chinese bias, but the vast majority don’t.
The vast majority, if you say: The Chinese Virus” will not think you’re blaming China. Just like a vast majority don’t blame Spain for the Spanish flu or Mexico for the Mexican flu.
And, to top it off, not once in my life have I ever heard anyone refer to the Chinese as the cause of the black death.
Everyone says: Rats from boats.
Some will say: fleas from rats from boats.
And if you ask them: where did these boats come from?
They’ll answer: Africa? Asia?
And if you ask: who is to blame for the
Black death?
Everyone answers: rats (or fleas from rats) from boats.
Nobody has ever said (as far as I know): “Oh, the bubonic plague... the Chinese caused that.”
Not one. Zero.
However, if trump has said it, I won’t be surprised. But then again, he’s as mad as a hatter.
@shavixmir saidGood point.

Maybe one day people will say the coronavirus came from a weird practice people did back in the day when they took living animals to 'wet markets' and then killed them to eat them.
@yo-its-me saidOh, now you’re just going full-whack vegetarian on us!!
Good point.

@shavixmir saidIt’s even worse than that, them Brits have decided to call it the ‘Kent Variant’. Racist pigs.

I think we need to remember that just because a country or region detects the variant first does not mean that it mutated into existence there.
I would say the term the China Virus is inherently more racist because its gratuitous and would leave someone hearing the term confused as to what was being referred to in a scientific sense. The Covid 19 or corona virus is a much better descriptor.
@earl-of-trumps saidI suggest you practise some reading comprehension.
There is nothing racist about the term 'British variant". Again, it only designates a birthplace of the variant of the Sars-Cov-2 virus. Nothing more, nothing less. And if you look deeper into it than that, I suggest you are a racist looking for trouble.
Ot stop drinking.
You seem to be arguing against points not being made.
@shavixmir saidThere you go.
