This is a pretty stupid take.

If any motivations are racist (in anything) it's racist.

I would have put that in a spoiler here with a trigger warning for sexists about female on male non-sexual aggression but it doesn't work for tweets.

Biden gave a competent address on C-19.

Not really. I would just call it common sense. Something in short supply these days it seems.

In the midst of a potential economic meltdown, you still incessantly find ways to call people racist...as if that's the most important thing in the world, as always.

Decades, thousands of post, hundreds of situations where you always go on these bullshit crusades. Even if you were right, so what? Yeppe, you are morally superior, and they are inferior....now what?

The problem with not eating Chinese is that where do you draw the line? Italian as has been mentioned but what about Korean and Japanese? Never had Persian but clearly we're running out of good food quickly.
At least Vietnamese still apparently safe. I need that Pho in my life.

Also, I can call things racist on the internet and engage in elevated personal hygiene and social distancing all at the same time.

Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro tested positive

edit spokesperson in the Brazilian embassy said the reports that President Jair Bolsonaro has coronavirus are "false."

"We can let you know of any further updates, but so far this is not true, and there is no official confirmation of any sort about this."

OK- so to be clear- for you its ok to base decisions prejudiced on race, as long as its not the prime factor and its controlled by facts and other facts?

it's not going to be fantastic, i'll tell you that.

one silver lining is that I think this is going to be the final nail in Trump's coffin. Figuratively if not literally.

I'm curious how Trump supporters on 2p2 feel about his handling of the crisis thus far. The more he opens his mouth, the more markets plummet.

Spoiler: They think he's handled it great. Not sure why. He might have a natural ability or something.

Unfortunately, it's not just Trump.
Conservatives in general have an obsession with eliminating government.
Just before the outbreak, the cdc was basically gutted. This went under the radar for most people.
If conservatives had their way, America would basically be a second Somalia.
We have to urgently change the education system in this country.
Basically, every state chooses it's own curriculum. It can not be that kids in some states are taught in school that Abraham Lincoln was an invading aggressor and the North committed genocide against the South.
And then we wonder why this country is so messed up.

Alrighty, time to have a huge cup of tea and check back in on my favorite non-racist web forum that I heard has totally cleaned up all of the shitbags and lowlifes from their forum....
