I mean, not for nothing, the body counts of China’s actions over the last 10, 20, 30, 40 (you see where I’m going with this) 50, 60 years put any Covid related violence to shame.
And obviously anyone who accosts an Asian person because of this is a goddamn fool. There’s no way any random you encounter on the street in North America has anything to do with Covid in Wuhan.
But just some of China’s more famous recent atrocities:
The Great Leap Forward
One Child policy
Tiananmen Square
Tibet
Uyghur genocide
We haven’t even gotten to the currency manipulation or Hong Kong or Covid (if they accidentally allowed it to escape).
An ethnically Asian human being you encounter in the world deserves the benefit of the doubt.
China does not.
