Is the English Channel rascist? The French quarter? Italian dressing? Indian summer? Mexican jumping beans? Mongolian wok?

Well, actually the term ‘Wuhan Virus’ or ‘Wuhan Flu’ would be more appropriate, more accurate, and less ‘racist’.

Trump fantasy reply:

“People say it s racist!”
“What people?”
“Uhhh people. Lots of people!”
“Is one of them named ‘Ann Nonomus? She was the one that said Hillary would win the election. And the liberal lying media believed her and said it was the truth. When I won it, she said I was in with the Russians to steal it. And the media reported that lie. Then Mueller couldn’t find crap, so she said Lied and said I with held aid from the Ukraine, which the media, dumb ass lazy journalists and Democraps all tried to impeach me for it, that was found to be a lie. So my advice is before you make yourself and your industry bigger liars and fools than you already proven that you are, stop listening to her. Who knows you may build credibility where the American people my believe what you say again...but I doubt it!”

Trump has to call it “The Chinese Virus” because he needs to keep reminding all the liberal twits in the media that CHINA is 100% responsible for everything getting so out of hand.

I happen to think it’s a bio weapon that it was purposeful sent out.

Humor is dead. Woke means finding racist any way possible. Racism by humorless unhappy liberals.

The answer is “No, the Chinese virus is species-ist. It only seems to infect all varieties of humans. So don’t worry about it.”

He should have said that only a racist would think that it was racist.

“People are dying, the markets are tumbling, supply lines may be slowed to a crawl and the most important issue to you is whether somebody’s feelings might be hurt? You have the rare access to the leader of the free world in a time of crisis and all you can ask about are people’s feelings??? Grow up. Next question.

.... My answer to this question would be ....... “ No ... The Chinese Flu is NOT Racist .... It attacks people of all races ..... It does not discriminate.”

My answere wold be..."Next, does anyone have a serious question they would like to ask?"

Because worrying about racism is such a priority. I so loathe the media and how they are profiting from this crises.

You're right, and I do understand that Trump is doing this on purpose, even doubling down on it. Still, I hope it ends up as 'Wuhan Virus' when the dust settles. I have this bad feeling that 'China Virus' will, in time, become a bit vague.
