Jon Karl says the quiet part out loud on The Week this morning. damookster Send a noteboard - 31/05/2021 12:43:29 AM

"I think a lot of people have egg on their face. This was an idea that was first put forward by Mike Pompeo… Donald Trump. And look, some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them. Because Trump was saying so much else, it was just out of control. And because he was — you know — making a frankly racist appeal, talking about ‘Kung Flu’ and the China virus, he put forward this notion… and it was widely dismissed."

I have a question. If it turns out the virus was indeed created in the lab and escaped, and the Chinese have been suppressing the news ever since, is it still racist to call it the China Virus?
