The world, and especially multiethnic societies, have a tough time figuring out race. It is the source of countless problems. How bizarre would it be if the term "China virus" actually was the source of bigotry? But to some small degree, that seems to be the case. I guess that should not be a surprise given that American slavery and crime statistics are also sources of bigotry.
I objected to people like Trump using the term because it was not the preferred term. A president, a person who makes important decisions based on correct information, should not use unsophisticated terminology.
They are setting us up for the Reparation payouts. If we complain about them then we will be labelled racist. They want every white person to be so saddled with guilt over what was done 150+ years ago that we will do anything from kneeling in defiance of America, to dismissing law and order in favor of social justice and eventually come to accept the payouts to a race of people while discriminating against all the others.
There is racism in this country but it is not only a belief of white people. That is why the media doesn't care about black on black crime and murder. That is why they don't care when a black guy beats up on a white guy but whoa look out if it is the other way around.
The Democrats love to play the race card and set their people up to be the perpetual victim. If every white person is a racist white supremacist by nature then they cannot help themselves but to oppress everyone.
The Democrats are setting up the crisis so they can be the saviors.
Not sure of the connection between the current spike in black-on-Asian crimes and white supremacy but I am certain the Lefties have a super duper explanation.
historian Mark Humphries of Canada’s Memorial University of Newfoundland points to newly unearthed records to make the case that the lethal influenza pandemic first appeared in China in 1917 and then exploded across the globe “as previously isolated populations came into contact with one another on the battlefields of Europe.”

They sure do, and here it is: systemic white racism. The existence of systemic white racism is what causes black on Asian crimes. Why? You're not supposed to ask that, but the answer is, because it does. And as such crimes increase, systemic white racism increases so as to fuel further increases. And 'round and 'round they go, where they stop, nobody knows.
You seem to have outdated views, pre-opioid views. This is problem of socioeconomics that is color blind, we now know that if you create a crack-era environment in rural mostly white towns, the same ills that happen in black inner cities show up there. Educational attainment, crime, low expectations all click right in with their black counter parts.
Not denying this, but even so, how often do redneck white hicks strung out on meth randomly assault a stranger for no apparent reason and without provocation? I'm sure it happens, but does it happen at anywhere even approaching the same rate as what we've been seeing with anti-Asian violence?

Terms like that has been made long before Trump, like saying Asian flu that wasn’t to long ago, the only problem some has now because Trump said it and turned it into causing hate. If people are stupid enough to let that cause them to violently react, is more about the person, then Trump.

he did call it the wuhan coronavirus, which is hardly an unsophisticated term.
Came from China, mutated into it's most virulent form in the USA (Kansas I believe) and then spread to the rest of the world.
