[ExI] BIZARRE

[SR Ballard]

These attacks are so illogical.

If they have corona (which they probably don’t), then you shouldn’t touch them.

>> ### Ignorance? The Chinese virus was brought to the US by travelers, many of them travelers from China. In the absence of testing it's a reasonable presumption that your risk of getting infected by a Chinese virus is higher in Chinatown, at least initially. Does avoiding Chinatown make you into an "ignorant asshole"?

>> Anti-American, leftist mass media (I am repeating myself here) promote the narrative of Americans being just bad, hateful people. When the facts on the ground do not fit the story, when the supply of real hate crimes does not meet the demand, there are many Jussie Smollets willing to create fake ones. That's why I am highly suspicious of those ritual condemnation stories about the ugly mainstream Americans, ignorant assholes, stupid, filthy and rural.
