The negative part of coronavirus is the rise of racism. It was China who began with allegations that U.S. army brought the virus to China. Later, it became Chinese virus with U.S. saying the virus was engineered by China.
Trump said WHO underreported the actual figures of infection and deaths from coronavirus in China meaning the organization was siding with China. He asserted he might withdraw his funding of WHO since US is the largest funder in the organization.
WHO’s general said the racist attacks against him were unfounded and he had evidence the remarks against him.originated from Taiwan. Taiwan responded the general should apologize because they know what it means being discriminated. Since Taiwan is a colony, they don’t share the privilege of being a member of international bodies.
Now, foreigners specially Africans have been evacuated from hotels and hostels in China. The reason is that Africans have brought the disease to China. The authorities are involved in evacuation. They are stranded and despite talks between the government and African ambassadors, the situation hasn’t changed.
Did this conversation help anyone feel better?
It hasn’t made anyone feel better but to make us aware of issues that are detrimental to humanity. Also, through the discuss, it assists to embrace what is good and stand for what is right.
The worst part is when politics starts to get involved in such things. Politics does not do any good, returning guilty to one another.
That is true. Politics has been used for long to draw racial divisions.
Why should political relationships interfere with this insanely insane disease. And racism has no words to express my indignation. We are all equal. We are all living things.
Exactly, we are equal. I have never known any disease originating from a certain disease. Even Scientists stress that. Almost each country is treating foreigners with disdain.
Judging people or races on a superficial view is not good.
However, easy to do.
I have a high respect for the Chinese people and they are very good hosts and hard working, even if in their nation they hold life in low regard.
Poverty brought that on, and when you look at any race, to be fair you also need to look at their circumstances.
I could see in advance some would take a bullet to the Islamic people in New Zealand because of the bad press of Islamic people..
It is totally unfair and some people stay in their groups of predudice and preconception.
Not all white europeans take a bullet to other races but you will always get some ..sadly.
I agree with you. We should respect people for who they are even if they hold different opinions from us or their faith is different from us. As long as we live in harmony and considerate of others and not forcing our dogma on others.
Totally agree with this we should show each other kindness, and respect.
I really do not know when this blame game will end. In the process who suffers are the people.
It is the people who suffer. It is experience in almost every country where foreigners are termed as COVID-19 carriers.
Crazy how politics is making things worse. I do understand some of these issues. I hope things settle down soon. No room for racism, ever.
I hope too things will normalize. I wonder where diseases originate from a certain race.
Pressure bursts pipes. With the pressure of coronavirus, those who have cracked under the pressure revert back to negative thinking in order to deflect blame to someone else.
That is true. It is turned out as a blame game to avoid accepting responsibility of not containing the virus outbreak.
