I'm Asian..wife is from China.

Call it whatever you want. Just keep your mitts off me and stop curb stomping elderly people over it.

I was born here and ate the same greazy azz food ya'll did.

Bat-wing crunchies can stay in the jungle.



Hate crimes should only be defined if the motivation was race related.
And even then, the real crime is the physical assault part , which is a crime regardless.

You wanna tack on 'hate' tags on things to up the sentence or shame,..have a happy.

Agree. China is a country. Chinese are a people. Rational people can blame a country without passing the blame onto people either from the country or whose ancestors were originally from that country.

It's the "China Virus" because it's verfiable was in the georaphical entity called China, that is the only reason it is, or should be called as such. Also, it should not be a hate crime to state that simple fact. I orginally thought COVID19 stood for "Chinese-Originated Virus ID #19".

Now if it were called the "Eww Nasty Stinky C--nky Virus" that could be hate speech but, I thought this was America with a thing called the First Ammendment protecting the right to objectionable speech ...maybe I was wrong. Maybe we're in Bidenia or Kamalastan, where the Constitution doesn't apply.

There's nothing wrong with hating the authorities in China, if they permitted this to happen. The people of Chinese descent who are here, that's another story. They moved to get away from that insanity.

It's a good thing they didn't do anything with Italians, for anyone who's ever owned a Fiat you might know what the acronym stands for which I guess is racist.

He signed that bill so he can pretend he's advocating for Asians. The point is to try to pretend it's white supremacist doing all these hate crimes because of Trump. It's not. Virtually all the attacks on Asians are blacks. Hardly Trump supporters.

Also, a scientist who worked in the Wuhan lab says the virus was man made and unleashed on purpose. Big tech scrubbed her interview from the internet. But now it is coming out that not only did it get manufactured in a lab, Dr. Fauci funneled US taxpayer money to the lab so guess how paid for it?

Those bats are not even in that area. But that lab does research on those bats.
