Pretty sure Bostonite isn't a race.

The name "Boston bombing" also has an implication of Bostonites being victimized rather than being at fault, which I think is the problem some people have with the term "Chinese disease" (that being the potential implication of Chinese being at fault).

But no I don't think calling diseases originating in China "Chinese diseases" is racist simply because I don't think the phrase actually does have the inherent implication of Chinese being at fault. Obviously any statement that does have such an implication would be racist.

Where do you get they implication, probably because it is their fault. They have lied, covered up and has blamed other countries for this mess, look at Supas post about this, Chinese disease is called because it originated there and if it gives off the implication that it is their fault, then it partly is.

China isn't a race either. Mexico isn't a race.

America isn't a race.

Some people are idiots for saying it's racist. I literally heard someone say "We don't call AIDS the African Virus." Because Africa isn't a country and is a race. I literally just let them be an idiot for that 5 minutes. If we called it, "The Asia Virus," then it would be racist. But China is a country, Asian is a race. Being Greek isn't a race. A country can be responsible for the spread that effects everyone. While it is not proper terminology, is it certainly not  a false claim

The thread was a hypothetical about China launced the virus and a theory. I don't think it's their fault, but they did take bad measures, and with theories, I had to throw evidence in there

There is scientifically no nation on the planet where the people living there have unique genes found in no other nation on the earth.

Using nations to describe "races" is the epitome of junk science used to promote misinformation, panic, and discord.

Yet this is exactly what the left promotes as they attempt to be SJW’s, to make up for the endorsing of the KKK and supporting of Jim Crow laws in the 60s

To be fair I just like watching Bostonians and New Yorkers battle it out when it comes to their baseball team. I personally hate both teams, but I think I hate the Yankees more since the White Sox have a bigger rivalry with them. Then again, the Red Sox are the fake Sox

White Sox founded 1894, Red Sox founded 1901. Technically we were the first. We were also the first to win, in 1906. The Red Sox (not the Americans), didn't win til 1912. 

Mainly a joke, but that's how I respond. Friendly banter

Race is a word with multiple definitions.

I'm not going to list them all. so just check your dictionary.

Suffice it to say so though, your assertion is not accurate.

A hundred years ago when the "Spanish Flu" killed around 50 million people, it was found the flu originated from an army barracks in the US, but since WWI was in full swing at the time, Spain was the only country reporting the flu in the media and wound up getting the flu labeled after them.

H1-N1 started in California, but then was traced back to Mexico after the first cases were found in the US.  They didn't call it the Californian flu, or the Mexacan flu.  They called it the swine flu.

Maybe they should call this one the bat disease.

Thank you for confirming the charge "racist" is arbitrary, moot, and devoid of any certain meaning.


There is scientifically no nation on the planet where the people living there have unique genes found in no other nation on the earth.

Using nations to describe "races" is the epitome of junk science used to promote misinformation, panic, and discord.

There is no such concept nor any accepted definition of "the American Race" or any other "national race"  for that matter.

If you truly somehow believe some or every nation=race, then all such nations are racist for not including other races.

Pure bullshit. There are no pure races and no pure race nations as well. Whites, Browns, Blacks, and Yellows have DNA from all over the globe. Skin color denotes practically nothing genetically. Skin color is a tiny percentage of DNA with a single phenotype among millions of phenotypes. Nations don't have unique, scientifically measurable DNA within their borders.

America isn't a race.

Mexico isn't a race.

UK isn't a race.

China isn't a race.

2009 H1N1 Pandemic (H1N1pdm09 virus)
From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus.

Where did the 2009 swine flu outbreak originate?
The 2009 swine flu outbreak originated in Veracruz, Mexico. Health workers traced the virus to a pig farm in this southeastern Mexican state. 

did we close down the border?  No?  travel restrictions?  No?  half-blackman bad.
