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.

There is not a China man’s chance that I will listen to what that Oriental guy has to say, and don’t put too much starch on my shirt collars!

He did graduate from Harvard so there’s that too.

Lin, playing for Harvard, empowered a school that discriminates against Asians.

Add that to his list of turncoat credentials.

- He empowers Harvard against Asians.

- He empowers China against his native Taiwan.

- He empowers China's coverup of the Chinese Virus while thousands are dying around the world and while the world economy grinds to a halt.

Meanwhile, he collects a paycheck from the Chicoms.

Media rule 1: If the word “racist” is used, they have no argument.
Media rule 2: If the word “phobic” is used, they have no argument.
Media rule 3: If the word “nazi” is used, they have no argument.

...they have no argument

Their job is to report facts, not argue their opinions about it. They can write letters in the editorial section. I won't read.

Lin is one of many on the ChiCom payroll. It’s convenient for them to inject the race card in order to hide their dubious financial connections to that totalitarian communist regime!

Naw you so raciss!   You no talk lik dat.   It nawt fun-ny.

Hint: the ancient Greeks called foreigners from Persia and Egypt barbarians because they made unintelligible sounds (ba-ba-ba).   They sounded funny.

Kung Flu, China Flu and Flu Manchu sounds funny too.

WHY is the news media worried about the Chinese Virus when they themselves are running around like teens at a stoplight doing the Chinese Fire-Drill?

China has blamed the US Army for the outbreak. In response to that, and hysteria from reporters, he continues to call it what it is. Funny they don’t mention what China has been saying about us.
