Topic	If coronavirus came from Wisconsin, would it be wrong to say it came from there?
EventualDecline 04/05/20 12:26:38 AM #9:	TurtleInFreedom posted... After some time, people in Wisconson would take offense, obviously. Way to go on missing the point, completely. The point is that the mods (and the media) wouldnt vehemently back the people of Wisconsin in defending their honor over being referred to as the source of the virus. That would never happen, not if Wisconsin were the source. Not ever. Also, imagine people saying that its racist to call it the Wisconsin Virus, because Wisconsin is predominately white, and referring to it as that would be ignorant to white people? Imagine that? Again, would never happen. UnfairRepresent posted... It wouldn't be wrong to say "The virus that started in Wisconsin" It would be wrong to call it "The Yank Virus" or the "American Virus" as that promotes predjudice against random innocent people. I don't get why the "It's the Chinese Flu!" people don't seem to understand this and pretend other people are arguing it didn't start there But if it DID come from Wisconsin, the rest of the world probably WOULD be calling it the American Virus, and SJWs and gamefaqs mods would not have a problem with that. And they certainly wouldnt be trying to stop people from saying it, because Wisconsin is white and therefore cannot be criticized, or youre a racist for daring to speak out against whites and their dastardly viruses from the Midwest. Face it, theres a double standard. Its OK, you can admit it. I wont tell anyone. ultimate reaver posted... A bunch of people are dying and for some reason the most important thing to some people is calling the virus the China virus or some other dumb bullshit because they were born without a sense of sympathy or the ability to relate to suffering and all they can do is try to turn everything into a game where they are mad at some group of people Imagine being this person and thinking that stating facts causes untold suffering. --- "High speed progress, step by step, into a trap....." <cite>EventualDecline posted [p:936803675] in If coronav...
