    Why is it when something comes out of Africa , it’s called Ebola or Monkeypox but China gets the science names like SARS or COVID?

    Except Trump did use biased and disparaging langauge and insisted on doing it even as many Asian Americans were subject to increased harrassment and violence.

    For someoone who claims you hate defending Trump you sure do go out of your way to do it.

    If you really feel that "kung flu" isn't disparaging and is just a witty turn of phrase try this simple experiment. Go down to Canal Street and Elizabeth and aks a lot of random people there what they think of "Kung Flu".

    Completely agree. That's why I'm always careful to criticize the Chinese government, rather than the people.

    Trump did criticize the government, not the people.
