The coronavirus exposes the history of racism and “cleanliness”

While panic about a sudden, deadly virus is to be expected, some fears — especially in North America and the West — have been based on something other than health. The panic has exposed a deep-seated xenophobia, and with it, a symptom of its own has surfaced: hostility toward East Asian people.

You see, we're all racist. What is more Woke than dying because you refused to quarantine your country because of a pandemic?

I'd certainly go to my grave a touch more content...

The yellow peril...jumping on airliners, cruise ships, refusing to stay in quarantine...spreading their weird fried-bat disease. We not supposed to notice?

East Asians, particularly the Japanese are among the cleanest people in the world.

In this case real racism is a good thing. Imagine a world where all Asian nations didn’t have ancient plus modern hatreds and a deep mistrust of each other. Imagine all of the advanced nations in that part of the world like Japan and South Korea leading the exploitation of all of Asia’s resources. Concern anybody else?

Want to see real racism? Put two groups of Asians from different races together and see how well they get along. Most likely it won’t end well.

I’ve known a bunch of gangsters.

They’re not the brightest bulbs either.

But if they threaten to destroy your business or your life you give in. And they get more powerful.

The left works the same way.

All different groups conflict. Liberals do not understand this. Grab a mop, let’s see what we can do.

I remember reading about the first KFC that ever opened in China. The corporate suits were horrified that patrons were throwing the chicken bones on the floor.

I remember a Chinese place in a mall in Union City Georgia. They would stack cardboard boxes of food in the service hall. One night, after the mall closed, a security guard and I watched the rats poking their heads out of the holes in the walls and ceiling.

The point is that the article simply ignores the fact China is a pretty filthy country. At least they are getting better about keeping bugs out of their pre-packaged grocery items.

Racism, racism, racism.

Bah.

If this had happened in Italy or Finland we’d have done the same. And with the more robust infrastructure that exists in the West (How Dare You!) we’d have dealt with it better instead of having it run amok and unreported for who knows how long.

But I don’t think they are developing bioweapons in Finland or Italy, and it looks a lot like this was engineered.

Wait until the F’in Iranians get ahold of viable samples.

Hispanics are also virulent racists with each other.

Oh good grief. In China the public bathrooms don’t even have soap. They need to adjust to the 21st century.

Clean is racist.
Bad is good.
Up is down.

Liberal logic.

It’s the Democrats that are racist against Asians

They don’t want them to go to college because they are too smart and get to many placements at prestigious colleges and in too many desirable fields.

They’re even smarter than white people so they must be limited in their access to education.

Racism explains all the ills of the US.

Yet the nonwhites still flock here to live in the wealthy society crated by white men.

Thanks Obama. Thanks Media. Thanks Academia.
