"Viruses come from China like shortstops come from the DR.

This isn& #39;t about vilifying a culture, it& #39;s about facts.

If they sell nuclear suitcases at these wet markets, would we be so non-judgemental?"

@billmaher hits one out of the park! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEfDwc2G2_8&fbclid=IwAR0MSTgBs-Q3tNg6b5zqtYfvIjEMQf6Xc3n8z9ysDyVYswf6pR-yHKQ5r0A">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

"The PC police say it& #39;s racist to attack any cultural practice that& #39;s not our own.

Liberalism lost its way when it started thinking like that.

If people say, what if others hear & #39;China virus& #39; and blame China?"

"The answer is we should blame China. Not Chinese Americans. But we can& #39;t stop telling the truth because racists get the wrong idea.

There& #39;s always going to be idiots out there who are going to indulge their prejudices."

"Sorry you& #39;re going to have to keep 2 ideas in your head at the same time:

1. It has nothing to do with Asian Americans

2. But it has everything to do with China

We can& #39;t afford the luxury of non-judginess toward a country with habits that kill millions of people everywhere."

"China can do this. They& #39;re not like us, they can get shit done. They& #39;re a dictatorship.

But they can& #39;t close down the wet markets? They need to use that Iron Fist to pound it down as if the whole word depended on it.

Because it does."

(Although there& #39;s a non-zero chance that SARS-nCov2 didn& #39;t originate from the Huanan wholesale seafood market & that it was just a ruse to obscure the true origins

Regardless, hygiene standards of wet markets must be enforced or they should be banned. Along with wildlife trade.)
