We are too woke.
It's simply because Trump hinted at this theory, so we say it's conspiracist and racist.
The same thing happened to "China virus". It is racist because Trump said it. Indian-variant of covid is not racist because Trump hasn't said that yet.
- _chris_ 5y agoLying all the time has consequences.
- ergocoder 5y agoYeah, he doesn't have any social "credit" left. It put US at a great disadvantage. If his policy was slightly not in favour for China, the policy would be called racist immediately.
- bufferout 5y agoTrump also referring to it as the "kung flu" probably didn't help matters.
- ergocoder 5y agoHe now can help us by saying "Brazilian/Indian/UK flu". Boom. We will immediately stop using the word like "India variant" (and etc.).
