While its true that asians eats exotic foods liek bats and others which i believe c19 comes from, hate crimes still is aweful. The virus is just an excuse for this evil thoughts to unleash to this racism
The trump administration purposely trying to fan the flame in their usual modus operandi. It's not the first time that Trump did this honestly. Trump basically choose economy over people's life. His administration argument is just pure sophistry. He's purposely loosening the covid19 lockdown so that it will spread more faster and creating more unreasonable death. Creating a lot of hate, anger, and fear toward the CCP to propel their agenda. They're misdirecting the negative emotions to someone else, while minimizing the hatred toward the government. Classic authoritarian style. They thought that the term 'CCP Virus' would be enough to stop people to hate the American Chinese? Good job Trump.
inb4 some wacko comes in and says some shit about how USA is shitty. Yeah, ignorant people suck. Yeah, hate crimes suck. There is no but.
