SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) – San Antonio City Council has approved a resolution ‘combating hate speech’ in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mayor Ron Nirenberg proposed the resolution, citing hate crimes, discrimination and aggression against Asians and members of the Jewish community across the country.
It states that COVID-19 is a public health issue, not a racial, religious or ethnic one, and that the use of terms such as “Chinese virus” or “Kung Fu virus” encourages hate crimes against Asians. The resolution also says the Jewish community has been targeted with blame and conspiracy theories about spreading COVID_19 and profiting from the virus.

This is NUTS. SA City Council behaving like a lefty college faculty lounge, triggered by Chick-fil-A & the words “Wuhan virus.” If they want to investigate someone, start with NYT & CNN who both repeatedly (and rightly) referred to it as “the Chinese coronavirus.” #NoSpeechPolice https://t.co/a10BZAvleQ

SA is such a Urban Utopia that they have time for this?
Math is hard for these people. The deaths from the virus to date in the U.S. is approximately 77,000. I doubt that hate speech will equal that any time soon.
Resolution being voted on by San Antonio City Council this morning labels terms "Chinese Virus" and "Kung Fu Virus" as hate speech and "all persons are encouraged to report any such antisemitic, discriminatory or racist incidents to the proper authorities for investigation".
IOW, the current San Antonio city council is unfit for office, has always been, and is always going to be.
There’s no such thing as “hate speech.”
What does Chik fil a have to do with it?
Are all big cities in Texas taken over by loony leftists?
It’s all they know.
Whaaaa-hanic plague.
And what if someone says it? What are they going to do?
All to poofters the Left surrenders, all for faggotry they freely give....
Saying “chinese virus” is not hate speech.
You guys, this is disturbing. Saw this yesterday. No. My city, San Antonio, is as suggested, indeed not an urban utopia. The residents have accepted an invasion from south of the border withou a whimper. They stare me down when I tell hatefu invaders to speak English. Now evolved to not I’m not learning Spanish to no I’m not speaking inglish with a Mexican accent
There is a hatred from the invaders for America. The San Antonians red carpet the invaders. It is loathsome
There is nothing here. A river walk one story down overlooking a creek
Good weather. Affordable housing Doh
The worst department of transporatation ever. The roads are death traps.
This city council has nothing better to do than vote unanimously to outlaw a constitutional right. This had better get turned over. The precedent is awful to say the least.
In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.

‘ Are all big cities in Texas taken over by loony leftists?’
Yes. Think Joachin and Julio Castro and their la rasa family
Think Greg papawhositz coach of the Spurs and his virulent hate speech. Hmm wondering re his relation to the Chinese worshipping NBA officials.
Just another example of their insanity- CFA tried to open a store there and the went bananas.
I disagree. TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
Oh yes, that. I see.
I’d forgotten, but I remember that.
Hard to believe San Antonio doesn’t have a Chik fil a.
Austin is gone
Houston gone
Dallas all but gone
San Antonio all but gone
Most border counties. ...gone.
Panhandle. .safe
East TX safe
West TX safe except El Paso, gone.
Remember Beto. ....came from El Paso.
