Jeremy Lin rips Trump for ‘empowering’ racism with talk of ‘Chinese Virus’

President Trump said Wednesday that his use of the term “Chinese Virus” was “not racist at all.” Among those who might strongly take issue with that assertion would be Jeremy Lin, given his criticism of the president on Tuesday.

Lin, a California native of Taiwanese descent who last year became the first Asian American player to help a team win an NBA title as a member of the Toronto Raptors, posted several tweets accusing Trump of “empowering” racism by using the term and saying the president was contributing to a menacing climate for Asian Americans in the wake of the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Isn’t this guy that got his tit in a ringer of his use of the term “chink in the armor”?

“Lin, a California native of Taiwanese descent...”

Washington Post is consistent - they always outright lie.

He is of Chinese descent.

His family is from China and used Taiwan to escape China en route eventually to the U.S.

He is not Taiwanese or of Taiwanese descent.

Overt lie.

Trump is just triggering the media now. He knows the vast majority of the country is on this side of this ridiculous argument.

When it was said on an MLB telecast by Ron Darling, who himself has Chinese ancestry.

Did he happen to defend thw US against China’s accusations that it came from our military?

No?

Somehow I am not surprised.

A no talent Chinese former NBA bench warmer.
The NBA carried him for a few years to help with their Chinese fans.

He was a Harvard grad, which means he was automatically woke, but it was his play during one 7 game span with the New York Knicks that made him world famous.

Apparently the politically incorrect language that Trump uses to refer to the Wuhan virus is worse than the virus itself.

Chicom Virus works for me. Wuhan might be its hapless origin, but the CCP injected it into the rest of the world.

Old Yankee CT is quite anglofile. Probably would enjoy being called ‘Lymies’!

I was kinda happy for him that he got a ring as a bench player last year but no longer.

Lin plays for a Chinese team in a country that persecutes Christians.

Lin is worried about a few words. Meanwhile with his actions he empowers religious persecution.

Loved the final question from a beautiful OAN reporter who looked Asian at Trump’s press conference today (obviously mocking fools like Lin and the media in general):

Do you think ‘Chinese food’ is a racist term?

[RightGeek]

It was great

[JimRed]

Whoever this Lin guy is, I can tell you WHAT he is...an @$$hole.

Reality is racist, to racists.
