    Chinese people are an ethnicity. Tools are not.
    You're just making an incredible stupid strawman

    no, Chinese is a nationality. The ethnicity is for example Cantonese.

    A tool can be Chinese that's why it's not an ethnicity
    Repeating idiotic statements doesn't make them any less idiotic.

    The right verbally and physically assaults ethnic Asians for what goes down in China, yet they don't think it's being racist. To than come up with 1 black man did something bad to 1 white person and think it must be racism, with no clue at all if this black person did this to who ever.

    It's utterly pathetic that you would attempt to portray a reference to a geographical location as a reference to a non-existent race.

    Your dishonest and hypocritical slur-mongering fools no one, most of all me. The only question in my mind is whether or not you can get through the rest of this thread without treating us to another one of your xenophobic outbursts.

    Chinese can very well be a nationality as well as an ethnicity... just like being a Jew can be ethnically but also religiously.

    indeed. A tool is not an ethnicity. Congrats on your strawman.

    Yes, and again, neither the resolution nor the article says anything about a Chinese race.

    Do you want to discuss what they actually said or shall we just leave you to ineffectively swat at your strawman?

    Yeah they're trying to breach free speech and nobody should have went because they don't have that right.

    I never said it's a race. I said it's an ethnicity.

    I'm not impressed by the far right of the not so covert choice of euphemism to claim they aren't being racist.
    Ethnic Asians in the west have been constantly harassed by them lot because of the virus. It's been documented etc.
    Them lot are being called out. And act as if your little toes have been stepped on too.

    Such a label also implies that it was made by Chinese citizens who are ethnic Chinese. And the virus wasn't made by "the ethnic Chinese". Congrats on your strawman.

    I just sourced there is such a thing as ethnic Chinese Americans. Hence it's not just a nationality.

    A tool is neither a citizen, nationality or ethnicity.
    A 5 year old knows that.

    Making up words direct prove anything.

    But it can still be Chinese.

    I sourced it, hence I didn't make it up.

    point remains that a tool is neither a citizen, nationality or ethnicity.

    Don't worry I never thought you were capable. Some other ass clown made it up and you just repeat it.

    Yet a tool can be Chinese. You are arguing with yourself.

    Do you have examples of the right verbally and physically assaulting Asians? Verbally and physically assaulting people is typically done by the left, like when they attack people with MAGA hats or burn down cities.

    Don't be jelly that I sourced that Chinese is indeed an ethnicity.

    I don't see how since it's neither citizen, nationality or ethnicity.... unless it's only used by ethnic Chinese in a traditional way, linking it to the ethnic Chinese.

    Let me ask you a question: Is it racist to penalize Asians on college entrance exams because they're Asian? Yes, the left is doing that to them, we bitched about it, and the left sat on their hands.

    How can someone be a sandwich spread?

    You are just cherry picking data points.

    your blindness is not my problem.

    People were attacked, but in your first article, which I only scanned, there was not one specific incident pointing towards right wingers. The article points out groups of people they want to demonize.

    Ok, made in China means made in China. Until the china virus was unleashed on the world, the notion of being made in China was not racist. In fact, the Chinese seemed to be proud of their made in China labels.

    We know how right wingers are with... "go back to your own country", "the Jew will not replace us", "the left wants open borders".
    This is all right wing violence. Get over it.

    It took your typical racist white right wingers to verbally and physically assault ethnic Asians, to change all that. Currently they are keen on using the not so subvert euphemism of "China" this and that to make their racist slurs. You can see if with Donald, when he got asked a question about why Donald thinks having the most test is so important, the reply was ask China to an ethnic Chinese American. We all know China doesn't have the answer to why Donald thinks it's important to have the most test. Donald was called out, and he left the stage.

    And now you right wing lot are offended that you're been busted with your racism.

    1. China is a spot on a map and from within that spot emerged the chinavirus, even Jim Acosta said so. Deal with it.

    2. Are you denying the chinavirus came from China and was intentionally exported by the Chinese?

    3. You're so concerned about racist slurs, yet I'll be you use the terms white privilege and white supremacy all the time. Those terms specifically call out white people which makes them about as racist as it gets. Deal with it.

    4. Are you saying words ignite violence? How about when you guys call people racists, nazis, phobes of all types, fascists, etc, do they count, because your side frequently uses those words to jusify their violence.

    5. So if the room was full of Chinese people, then Trump couldn't answer any of their questions because it would be racist - except china isn't a race.

    6. With the exception of the black guy who beat the crap out of the elderly white guy in the nursing home, is there any person, place or thing on the planet that is NOT racist? I've asked this question numerous times and not one lefty has responded, probably because they either believe everything is racist or their not committing to saying something isn't racist because they might need to declare it as being racist when the opportunity strikes.

    The topic is racism and asians. You seem to want to ignore or deflect from your own racist anti asian partners
