WashPost Cites Soros-Affiliated Org to Say Words like ‘Kungflu’ Are Racist
NewsBusters ^ | 4/9/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

The Washington Post continues to ruin its reputation by relying on a mix of a Soros-affiliated organization, the UN and the ADL to claim criticism of China’s handling of the coronavirus is racist. The Post’s story is headlined “As the coronavirus spreads, so does online racism targeting Asians, new research shows.” The article argued that “Fears of the coronavirus have fueled rising anti-Chinese sentiment online as a combination of traditional slurs and new terms such as ‘kungflu’ conflate the pandemic with ethnic and national identity, say social media researchers who tracked surging expressions of hostility for papers published Wednesday evening.”

Offend the Left. Actively do all the otherwise harmless things they advertise will irritate them.

It would appear that “Wa Po” is itself racist.

How about the Chicom-Soros Kung Flu . . . Wouldn’t surprise me if the evil SOB instigated a conspiracy to perfect and spread the virus.

I didn’t realize Chinese was a race. I thought it’s a nationality.
Must be my White privilege...

“My wife who is Oriental... “

In the pc world of today, Oriental is racist! Asian is the preferred term, today. :)

Clearly you aren’t racist, and you must be of a certain age to use that word, Oriental. I think it’s kind of neat, that’s why I commented.

The Communist Chinese have played their attack on the West brilliantly. They have brought the greatest, strongest country in the history of the world to its knees in less than a month ... and without firing a shot (or a missile). And there remains widespread disagreement on how long America will stay paralyzed. It's clear they know us better than we know ourselves. 26 posted on 4/4/2020, 10:28:38 AM by glennaro

Earlier last week Tucker Carlson did a segment on the origin of the coronavirus. Carlson, who has been pretty aggressive in his coverage of the virus, pointed out a Chinese research paper (since pulled by the author) which claimed the virus could not have arisen at the Wuhan wet market because the horseshoe bats where the virus arose were not for sale at the market. In fact, the bats are not naturally found anywhere within 900 miles of the market. However, bats were being studied for viruses they carried in two labs including one just a few hundred meters from the market.

The abbreviation for Bat Soup is BS~!

Novel coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent had China responded to the outbreak just three weeks earlier than it did, a March 13 study by the University of Southampton has found.

Technically, since we’re all social distancing and staying home would it be safe to say, in fact, ever body is Kung Flu Fighting?

President Trump: "Our country is in the midst of a great national trial, unlike any we have ever faced before. [...] We’re at war with a deadly virus. Success in this fight will require the full absolute measure of our collective strength, love, and devotion. It’s very important. Each of us has the power through our own choices and actions to save American lives and rescue the most vulnerable among us"

More than 14,808 Deaths in America from the novel coronavirus in the United States! (Fox News, 9 April 2020)

9/11 fatalities? 2,996!

Pearl Harbor American Military killed: More than 2,300 were killed!

China lied: Americans and people around the world died!

If Kung-Flu is bad, what are we to make of the “Black Plague?”

Actually, “Kung Flu” is the sort of snarky punning and word-play that is extremely common in the media.
