How to talk about China's role in pandemic in racially sensitive way, according to Rep. Judy Chu

The resource says using terms like"the Chinese" could prompt people to believe that those who are of Chinese descent are to blame for the virus. Instead, it advises legislators to be specific, saying exactly which"particular policy or decision and explicitly naming the CCP, or a specific CCP leader."

"Speaking about the problem in specific terms helps you to be more accurate and responsible, while simultaneously providing better clarity to constituents about your concerns with the CCP and its policies," the toolkit reads. The guidance also warns against using"Cold War-style rhetoric" like nebulous criticisms of China. Chu said that while many members of Congress take anti-Asian hate violence seriously, too many prioritize depicting China as an enemy and don't fully weigh the impact of their words. The toolkit says the spirit of such language is the same that prompted the"shameful incarceration of innocent Japanese Americans" during World War II.

"Intentionally vague criticisms against a whole country of over 1 billion people reinforce outdated and dangerous Cold War mentalities that the entire country is an enemy," the guidance reads."We should not repeat the mistakes of World War II and the Cold War by fomenting fear of an entire nation again today."

John C. Yang, executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC, said such guidance is particularly crucial, citing Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and John Cornyn of Texas as lawmakers who have done damage in perpetuating the racist association between Asians and the disease.

NBCAsianAmerica disgusting. But I would expect nothing less from Trumps disgusting hate politics, and rhetoric that has turned something like a mask into a political statement.

NBCAsianAmerica the trump administration has done nothing to improve diplomatic relations and lead by example of what DEMOCRACY CAN DO. this is a GLOBAL PROBLEM, not a trumpchina problem.

NBCAsianAmerica Once you have developed the hive or collective mentality, then you will understand how to deal with the Chinese and some Islamic groups.

NBCAsianAmerica What America is experiencing is not China’s fault. This virus belongs to Trump and his Governors. The Trump Virus/pandemic. China didn’t create what Florida is experiencing. Our devastation belongs to Trump and his Special Governor DeSantis....

Rep. Clyburn compares Trump to Mussolini, says president won't leave White House if he loses electionHouse Majority Whip James Clyburn compared President Trump to Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, warning that Trump would resist leaving office if not re-elected for a second term and is using 'strong-armed tactics.' Another conspiracy theory created by the leftist mob. They are grasping at anything and everything to oust the president. Kinda funny to watch honestly. This just means the Democrats are currently cheating again like in 2016 when they used intel agencies to spy and set up Trump.

Why are they refusing to put money in here so we can fair, unfettered elections.' Probably because 'someone' knows they wont win now if everyone is able to vote... because ALOT of people want to vote now...🤔🤷‍♀️ hesadumbdumb blesshisheart Vote2020 In my neighborhood a person put notices on every door asking for peoples names phone numbers and signatures so he could paint their curb numbers, Then tape the notice to the outside of their home. The notices contain everything needed for someone to commit mail-in voting fraud. They will have to drag Trump out of the WH.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley: Preventing an ‘eviction tsunami’ is a matter of public health'The average family does not even have $400 of savings to weather a disruptive life event — this was already crisis,' Rep. Pressley says about evictions prior to coronavirus. 'An eviction tsunami does not allow us to slow the rate of transmission.' Get everyone back to work! Oh I know, Democrats love it when poor people have to beg for bread. Most American's don't have enough savings due to their own poor decisions. It is immoral to make wiser Americans pay for their short-sightedness. Should have thought about all that before encouraging folks to go out and ruin the flattening of the curve with silly riots and protests.
