It is a "Chinese virus" in fact as it's origination was factually in China, until proven otherwise.
It is a "Chinese virus" in the pejorative use of the term as it originated from a disgusting, unkempt meat market born purely of the most disgusting, unclean and down trodden aspect of Chinese culture as opposed to any of the good aspects of the culture.

There's no skirting it, and denial as a function of the "fight against racism" does not make anyone a better person. Instead, denying this makes the denier someone who is likely to repeat their mistakes via their strange and childlike psychology that informs them that any negative statement about race or cultural is racist - which it is not.

During my undergrad, the college I went to had an internal course requirement regarding diversity. We had to read a great book about the plight of immigrants. That was a great component of the course. Then the insipid, wildly liberal instructor shows us a poster of bugs and other bush meat animals and explains in this engineered positivity that other countries eat from all sources of protein as if this was a good thing. She then, in her liberal nonsense, contrasted this by saying that we don't do this in America while employing a shameful tone as if we are wasteful. All while completely neglecting that those bush meat eating countries have strange viruses, bacterial issues and a broad span of life expectancy rather than generational cohorts that improve over time. I couldn't help but think "alright bitch, then you go eat bugs and ****ing possums you manipulative asshat". But I stayed quiet to her BS & tried to find value in the components of that class that were cogent. I got an "A". The whole thing and defense of it is insipid and foolish. In another thread we discussed natural selection. Consider that for a minute if you are reading this and want to deny origins and causal realities.

I am curious what was you undergrad???? Just genuinely curious.

Just because we can pencil whip an argument against does make the argument worthwhile or accurate in meaning. It only means that it can be argued in tone and based on the ego that someone could find an argument. It is also like explaining to a diversity class that other people eat bugs and bush meat and are better people for it.

I think that's all that needs to be said about that - no more explanation diffusing it is necessary.

So that's a no......

Yes, if it stemmed from the live animal markets then China needs to figure out it isn't a good idea and learn from this. But people can yell at them about that later after the real present problem is gone.


edit: And that response to me reads like a whole lot of nothing and just space filler for lack of a real counterpoint.

I think people are calling it for two reasons. 1) Bc it is easier to call it the "Chinese Virus" Than "Corin-Vid 19" essentially a nickname or slang for the virus. I really don't see a problem for this reason bc there is no ill intent. Its just convent or easier for them. 2) The other reason they are calling it the "Chinese Virus" is bc conspiracist believe that China manufactured the virus themselves. I would usually brush ideas like this off, but after that scientist coming forward and admitting to making the first genetically altered children I am open to all theories concerning China.
