    Default Democrats Pass Resolution Condemning Terms Such As ‘Chinese Virus’ and ‘Kung-Flu’

    Not like a billion other illnesses weren't named based on their origination.

    These people are pathetic. No time to get jack shit done or do a damn thing bipartisan - but sure do love their investigations to never never land and back.

    Democrats Pass Resolution Condemning Terms Such As ‘Chinese Virus’ and ‘Kung-Flu’

    Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution Thursday condemning terms such as “Chinese virus” used to describe the coronavirus as a form of “anti-Asian sentiment,” the Blaze reported.

    “It passed in a mostly party-line vote of 243 to 163 with 14 Republicans voting with the Democratic majority in favor,” the outlet stated.

    However, all other Republicans voted against the resolution.

    The Blaze article continued:

    The text specifically cites the phrases “Chinese Virus,” “Wuhan Virus,” and “Kung-flu” as examples of “anti-Asian terminology and rhetoric” that has “perpetuated anti-Asian stigma” in the United States. It calls on lawmakers to denounce anti-Asian sentiment in any form, as well as “all manifestations of expressions of racism, xenophobia, discrimination, anti-Asian sentiment, scapegoating, and ethnic or religious intolerance."

    I suppose they will also pass legislation rewriting history by changing name of Spanish Flu. Wouldn't want to offend the Hispanic voters.

    That was one page I peeked at - all viruses named after a location.

    I'm aTexan so it's not cultural approbation, right?

    But I do play Chinese checkers, and like Spanish rice, and a few of those other things on the list, so I'm sure I'm guilty if some type of racism.
