Is The Spread Of The Wuhan Coronavirus Also Spreading Anti-Chinese Racism?


SCMP: ‘Made in China’: how Wuhan coronavirus spread anti-Chinese racism like a disease through Asia

* Xenophobic chatter about Chinese eating habits is going viral on the internet
* Such ignorance isn’t just unpalatable – in misdiagnosing the problem, it’s dangerous, too

As Singaporeans gathered over the Lunar New Year
weekend, jokes were cracked about Chinese eating habits and how a propensity to eat “anything with four legs except the table and everything that flies except planes” had given rise to the Wuhan coronavirus.

One meme said there was no need to worry – the virus would not last long because it was “made in China”.

The jokes, tinged with racism, soon grew into a call for the city state to ban Chinese travellers from entering. A change.org petition started on January 26 had 118,858 signatures as of Wednesday afternoon. Among those calling for health to be prioritised over tourism dollars was Ian Ong, who wrote: “We are not rat or bat eaters and should not be made to shoulder their nonsense.”

  2. Discrimination of Asians is considered a virtue among liberals.

    It is why Asians have to sue universities to get equal treatment.

    Great Democrat Muckety Mucks like John Kerry often regale dumb liberals hicks with tales of how people go into the military because they are dumb.

    And those white people in the military marry Koreans, Japanese, Phillipinos and others.

    Can't have both ways.

  9. Anon___the moronic one
    the US discriminated against Chinese here
    The Chinese Exclusion Act was a United States federal law signed by President Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882, prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers. Building on the 1875 Page Act, which banned Chinese women from immigrating to the United States, the Chinese Exclusion Act was the first law implemented to prevent all members of a specific ethnic or national group from immigrating.
    and yes, if you are from the South back in the day, and you had no decent living, the army provided one. I served at tail end of WWII, the fighting over, and the regular army guys were mostly from the South (draftees let go)...so you are full of crap, a know nothing with a big mouth

  13. Awwwwwwwww, the parrot was triggered.

    I just threw that Mugabe thing out there. It related because he ate exotic animals, which could cause some sort of zoonosis. So it was germane. As an aside I pointed out that you cannot criticize Mugabe, because of liberal religious canon. Lo and behold snowflake was triggered that I transgressed and violated a liberal holy of holies.

    I do note that you are quite racists in your selection of free stuff.

    Parrot maybe you should read up on the Page act before you kneejerk and embarrass yourself.

    BTW Parrot when are you going to come out for polygamy. Any day now once you get the talking points memo (TPM) and told what to think. You are a brainless twit.
