Bill Maher Goes on Despicably Racist Rant Against China Over Coronavirus

Not just "racist" but "despicably racist" according to Daily Buttfuck or whatever. He says it SHOULD be called the Chinese virus. Which it should be.

"It's batshit to eat bats."

Archive doesn't seem to be working today so here's the "racist rant" itself.

 
Anyway if you're hoping that Maher flips out and starts ranting about slanty eyed chinks and how we need to kill them all, don't get your hopes up. There's literally not a racist word in the "despicably racist rant."

I regret to inform you that Bill Maher is at it again.On Friday night, after a softball interview with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and a few other chummy chats, the Real Time host aired his latest “New Rule” segment. And it was focused on how Americans should be able to call COVID-19 the “Chinese virus.”“Scientists, who are generally pretty liberal, have been naming diseases after the places they came from for a very long time,” he said. “Zika is from the Zika Forest. Ebola is from the Ebola River. Hantavirus? The Hantan River. There’s the West Nile Virus, and Guinea Worm, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and of course the Spanish Flu.” (Yes, Maher does not even know that the Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain. Also, it occurred over a century ago and was not named such at a time when its people were being targeted in racist attacks, but more on that later.)

“So why should China get a pass?” Maher continued. “Congressman Ted Lieu tweeted, ‘The virus is not constrained by country or race. Be just as stupid to call it the Milan Virus.’ No, that would be way stupider because it did not come from Milan, and if it did, I guarantee it would be called the ‘Milan Virus.’ Jesus fuckin’ Christ, can’t we even have a pandemic without getting offended?” (Note: Milan is not a country.)He added, “Seriously, it scares me that there are people out there who would rather die by the virus than call it by the wrong name. This isn’t about vilifying a culture; this is about facts. This is about life and death.” Who out there would “rather die by the virus than call it by the wrong name?” What the hell is he talking about?Oh, he also invoked the “PC Police” for good measure, saying, “The PC Police say it’s racist to attack any cultural practice that’s different than our own. I say liberalism lost its way when it started thinking like that.”

There was more of course, like comparing the animals sold at China’s wet markets to nuclear bombs, and various other dog-whistles that would be more at home on Fox News.
Maher conveniently failed to mention the reason(s) why many politicians are advising against calling it the “Chinese virus,” naming it after an entire country: the numerous hate crimes that have been reported against Asian-Americans in the wake of COVID-19. Storefront windows of Asian-owned business have been smashed and vandalized. People have been regularly taunted with racist “go back to China” heckles. The FBI has warned of a surge in hate crimes against Asian-Americans. Racially-motivated attacks on Asian-Americans have risen to 100 a day in the midst of the pandemic.
To all that, Maher concluded: “The answer is: We should blame China. Not Chinese-Americans, but we can’t stop telling the truth because racists get the wrong idea. There are always going to be idiots out there who want to indulge their prejudices, but this is an emergency.”
Yes, Bill Maher, there will always be idiots out there who want to indulge their prejudices. And tonight, that idiot was you.



That's some exceptional shit right there.

That's some exceptional shit right there.
I just love how the author uses the fact that Spanish Flu didn't originate in Spain to prove Bill Maher wrong, despite the small fact that the virus then also likely came from China. Don't you love it when "journalists" insert their opinions and attack people rather than just reporting facts objectively?

A bit of a sidenote, but I'm pretty sure that both the Plague of Justinian and the Black Death both originated in China. Just some food for thought.
 
The Black Death definitely originated in China, I remember learning that at school. Some lake in China dried up due to an unusually hot summer, and all the wildlife living around the lake moved away to find water, bringing them into close proximity with people. That's what caused bubonic plague to spread from rats to people via the fleas.

I suppose calling it the Black Death would also be racist now though.
 
Is it to much to ask for an actually despicable racist rant? At least that would be funny, but instead all we get is "reeeee don't call the virus coming from China the Chinese virus."

Going by what you said it would be the yellow death.

edit: not double posting
 
We live in a society where Bill fucking Maher is the only guy in mainstream media telling the truth about a virus.

Somebody should ask them how China feels about Black people. Or Hong Kong liberation. The CCP would be the last group I'd try to defend.

This is because you aren't a fucking COMMUNIST.

Yes and I suppose ebola would be the black death. I think we're both in despicable racist territory now though.
