Xenophobia
Is it true that the fear
through a coronavirus spear
shooting toward the Asian sphere
The media has successfully created
people’s resentment
the Anti-Chinese sentiment
Who is to blame?
Have I been singled out by someone I love...

Trump's relentless racism is repulsive to most...pay no heed...that too will pass...(I miss your mythological poems)...

The Jim Crow slave party democrats are and were the racist in the U.S..They have pandered to minorities since Johnson's dixiecrats switched from lynching to pimp talk ... The Democrat media called the virus "Chinese" Jan and Feb and in mid March decided to act like it was racist for the president to say in the continue act of leftist disinformation... Now the lapdogs of the WHO and CCP... Perhaps you should mention to Jasmine than in the U.S it is the Trump administration that recognizes Tiawan independence while the Democrat party and leftist media refuse to... They follow China's led in denoucing Tiawan as a soveriegn nation and help to block their placement in global politics...

It's heartbreaking that we have a president referring to this as the "China" virus... such ignorance breeds xenophobia. Sad. I am so sorry.

My brother lives in New York. He and his wife have taken ill with Covid, but are both recovering. They confirmed that Chinese residents are being blamed and persecuted. It is unfortunate, how little we have evolved in compassion, but in a crisis, the best and worst always arise. Be safe and proceed in calm abiding Jasmine, all things work out in time. 💖

This is not because of a pandemic that discrimination is rearing its ugly head again
It was there all along under the surface in subtle and explicit ways
The opportune time and convenience is for the discriminator to hide behind an illness
Europeans and their descendants who are inhabitants of their pale skin where ever they are
Always find ways to elevate their supremacy above all others
Fascist feelings and attitudes married with other forms of racist attitudes
Never seem to be evicted and there is always a home for this vagabond
In the heart of those with deep seated hatred for those that don't look like them
Speak like them
Do things like them
Birds of a feather stick together
Blood is thicker than water
It just goes on and on
Separating and oppressing people to exploit them
Throughout history is a disease that will live on long after the current virus has come and gone

The people of the world have no problem with the Chinese people ...They have a problem with the Communist government that enacts totalitarian measures on their own people constantly... keeping millions in camps. Please ignore the lies of the leftist media. The donkey party has much power to control the narrative to claim anything. They have continuosly projected fear, violence and oppressive tactics upon the U.S ever since we took away their slaves...The president declared Tiwanese independence...The democrats refuse to...Ignore all their media jive

Re: Re. Xenophobia
Whomever leftist media hates and denounces is the one telling the truth. Trump is a threat to leftist the global network. Thus they lie with every breath they can muster. There are many videos of democrats wishing more suffering and deaths just to make Trump look bad. They are pure evil and have destroyed my country with an economic lockdown that was pushed by democrat governor's while most countries including yours did not shut down. Our country is now done. There will soon be a civil war here as the conservatives purge the leftist authoritarians from our soil. This was done in the 1890's, '40s, '70s and soon again. I will link you videos of these evil fucks wishing more death, blocking stimulus money to citizens and denouncing drugs that 75% of doctors say will help just so more suffering can happen to support their agenda..

Re. Xenophobia
Whether or not we have anti-Chinese sentiment comes more from us as individuals rather than some mass hysteria whipped up by the media. After all, we have our own minds. Any country that is 'overly' (I say overly because we are all controlled in some way, call it surveillance or whatever) controlling, affects its people & their censored opinions.
I saw a documentary recently on the COVID-19 pandemic, in Wuhan where a guy was a courier, delivering vital supplies, food etc to his people there. He was a really nice down to earth guy with a genuinely loving heart, like the majority 'I hope' of the human race.
He said he got to know his people on a much more personal level & said he could never imagine leaving the city, as the experience gave him a different outlook on life. It gave him hope I think.

Thank you for sharing the courier's story. I appreciate the way how you see things truly, but what can I say about anti-Chinese sentiment? I hope everyone could be like you to consider how to treat people by seeing people's minds other than their races.
I guess you have already come back from North Korean right? You should have had an unforgettable experience there:)

Lol, I never went to North Korea really but a friend of a friend has been there. That's how I got some of my information about the empty hotels, a burger with an egg on it & adverts for toothpaste that you can't actually find.
I did read that North Korea is open to tourists, it's just that you have to do as you're told & go to the tour guides designated sights only. No 'doing your own thing' there I'm afraid.
I also learned there is a microbrewery that produces beer. I would love to try it! ;-)
