Oh come on. If people are thinking “Chinese people are more likely to have this virus so I’m steering clear of Chinatown” or “I’m not sure their food is safe” that might be poor risk assessment (though they seem sensible precautions to me) but neither is (of itself) racism.

Ebola and Africans was the same some people let out the worst in themselves when afraid.

Documents show Chinese govt has recognised possibility of WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak but decided to keep mum Chinese govt harshly censors messages. People can't inform others or generate knowledge to help others. People die because of information vacuum

Unfollowed, you guys have become CNN instead of having respectable written articles I use to enjoy reading

You dropped this:

Well, duh. They don’t want to catch Coronavirus from their Chicken Chow Mein!!

Not necessarily racism. Perhaps fear, albeit misplaced, is playing a part.

alllibertynews People are dumb. It's a flu/cold. Eat some chicken noodle soup and drink some ginger ale. It's got the same mortality rate as the flu as well. And we are quarantining people? It's ridiculous

Racism is to much my friend.. that's fear or you are not updated in the News. Please please don't do more drama!

Racism...or just people being cautious?

That's sad.

techjunkiejh people train the wrong things and are quick to rush to judgements

Sometimes?Always.

in general, up to now- muslims were the one to be host for 'illness' and 'disease' 😔🤨🤧

However, this period of world development is changing ... The West will lose more and more to developing China and other Asian countries !!! Soon Western societies will pay a huge price for moving away from their faith, tradition and roots !!!

the virus will be defeated in China in a few weeks. It is possible that it will explode in another region of the world at that time. Western societies in Western Europe, USA and Canada have been degenerated by the convenience of life and wealth.

I WAS ON A BUS THE OTHER DAY. THIS GUY KEPT COUGHING SO I MOVED MY SEAT AWAY FROM HIM. I TOLD SOMEONE ABOUT IT AND BROUGHT UP THE CORONA VIRUS. THEY SAID WAS THE GUY CHINESE. I SAID NO. THE GUY WAS WHITE

COVID19 CURE: Add 1/2 tea spoon of ground Turmeric, 1/2 spoon salt, 5 drops of Tea Tree Essential oil, Add warm water mix well. Cleanse the back of the throat by gargling thoroughly. Repeat every 4 hours, increase frequency if critically ill.

raciest picture

Stereotyping can be accurate. Profiling can and often does direct resources to where most needed. With the overwhelming majority of cases impacting Chinese people from China it only makes sense to devote limited resources towards screening and/or quarantining those individuals.

This could be very true

Racism against themselves? :/ this was stupid

thirdrowtesla Economist USED to be good. Now they are below average.

😕🥺

thirdrowtesla Not your greatest artwork for this article.

Really!? Really!?

Where was all this when I was getting called an Ebola niggroid

Who’s going to trust Chinese food & cleanliness now? Don’t even trust Chinese medicine—it doesn’t work! Just look at the coronavirus & other diseases China have; did they apply Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine is quackery!!!

Lolol who wrote this article? Show yourself.

Hahaha business activity taken from a waiter

Maybe the Chinese government should focus on bringing the WuhanCoronavirus under control and being truly honest to the international communities/ its people instead of pointing finger and playing victim.

Any thoughts from the Chinese government about Uyghurs?

The epidemic is a threat surely but any racism or senseless hatred would be the most deadly!

Why do they eat dogs and cats barbarians

Maybe the Chinese government should focus on bringing the WuhanCoronavirus under control and being truly honest to the international communities/ its people instead of pointing figures and playing victim.

Honestly... Who cares what the kleptocratic mafioso of the CCP think or say.

Interesting considering the state run racism against the Uyghurs in China. 🤯

Tell em to fuck off

That is why selfsegregation in cities and communities has to go. You see it everywhere across every country. The Chinese, East Indians, etc., this is 99% of the problem. They buy up everything and bring in their culture, never learn proper English. A sh!t storm of chunky stew.

Slightly hypocritical

Let me play you a song on the world's smallest violin

Or they deserve it? CoronavirusOutbreak

Typical ccp - blame everyone else for problems they created.

thats really not the major problem we're facing right now, is it?

One who doesn't understands the difference between isolation and racism is brainless.

Im asian, and whose fault is this?

Racism is a sin, all types of it, anti-chinese too, anti uygurs too, anti muslim or anti jewish too.

wow.

Ah yes, forgot the virus. Racism is the problem. Idiotic take

Does China have divine right to make the whole world suffer .?

Guess they know now how muslims feel
