Due to this coronavirus, racism is again out in the open as I look at the comments and postings about this situation. When the e-coli, swine flu and Spanish flu happened, no one got angry at US or Mexico, where those viruses came from. And the Spanish flu killed 50 million people worldwide. That disease was even hidden by most of the governments who were exposed to it. At least China came out in the open with this one. Only Spain was open about it. If they did not expose it, no one would have known about this disease, and it would have killed more people. That's why it was called "Spanish flu," even though, it did not originate from there. This kind of thinking and doing the blaming is just unfair. As for other Asians, they're also unfair to the Chinese. Before you judge them, look at your eating habits too. Some of you also eat some weird shit too, so stop looking at yourself as being better. As for Western food, the French eat snails (escargot) but no one thinks it is weird. Most people think it is such a classy cuisine. The Italians and the French also eat rabbits (I bet no one knows that). And to stereotype that the whole country eat these weird food is wrong because for the most part, based on my experience and observation, the majority of these people eat what most people in the world eat and think that these food are also weird to eat. And if their countrymen eat them, it is just a small percentage of the population, not the majority. For the most part, this percentage of people who do it believe that they have medicinal or aphrodisiac benefits based on old beliefs that was passed from generation to generation. By the way, do you know that according to the Bible, we should not eat pigs because it is dirty? But look, the whole world is eating them. Only the Jews and the Moslems are not eating them since they know better. In conclusion, having this double standard is so unfair.
