Yes and yes. How is that for an answer.  :PChina's or lay it directly on the president of China.

Grammatically, if something is from China (the government), it is Chinese. If you have an issue with that, you can take it up with the grammar police.

So you are afraid to answer the question? How can anyone have an honest discussion with you on certain matters?
I am not interested in having another discussion about this now.

If I felt that there was any chance of such a discussing with you being an honest one then maybe it would be different.

Do you understand saying "Chinese" will incite hate towards all people you want to call Chinese?

You take a shot at me then run and hide when you get called out, why?
If you are afraid to back up or explain what you post then don't post it. Pretty simple, no?

Why? We say something is Russian or American all the time without this fear of racism. Chinese is not a race. It's a nationality. There are many different languages, cultures, religions, and races in China. I don't think saying this is a "Chinese virus" causes hate towards people from China any more than saying "the Russians" muddled in our elections causes any hate to your average person from Russia.

Honestly, many people refer to Asians as Chinese.

All you had to do was say no.

That's not a fair comparison, more accurate would be The Israeli Virus where Israeli government had a hand in the release of the virus.

ETA: or maybe The Spanish Flu if it started in Spain or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Of course you will say it is not a fair comparison. I notice you went on to say "more accurate" which means there is some accuracy to it.

If I just said, "No," you would have asked why. I'm skipping ahead.

Jew is not a country. Israel is. And I'm fine with someone saying "the Israeli virus" if Israel had come up with it.

Lets try the reverse now with what that wise person said.

Chinese is not a country. China is. And I'm fine with someone saying "the China virus" if China had come up with it.

WOW it works that way to. I appreciate you proving my point.

I’m not going to go down this path for long but I just want to make 2 points:

1) There is a major difference between a racial/ethnic minority (that has been persecuted mercilessly in the past and present!) and a nationality. Just ask anyone who justifies anti-Zionism as not being anti-semitism.

Example: “Europeans are socialists, with no mind for individual rights” is not the same as “Hispanics aren’t picky, they like living in dilapidated conditions”.

2) Blaming a country for its government’s role in something is not the same as blaming a minority group for actions of a few members of the group.

Example: “The Swedes are incompetent in their handling of COVID” is not the same as “The blacks are incompetent in their social distancing”.

(Please don’t pick apart my examples, I did this rushed. But you can attack my points.)

In summation: Yes, words matter. But not all intersectionalities are created equal. Every one of us carries many labels (I’m male, Jewish, Brown haired, brown eyed, tall, super intelligent, etc.) but not all mentions of them are necessarily racist. What Trump said wasn’t necessarily racist (though it might have been). What DeBlasio tweeted WAS.

 
You’re no longer coherent. Go daven.
I can't tell if your kidding. Do you not realize you have spent the last few weeks bashing everyone who goes to minyan calling shul names out publicly and calling people murderers? You asked for intervention you got it

Tell me, what country are Jews from? Jewistan? Jewsy? Jew York?

The actual, literal definition of "Chinese" is "of China."
