A friend of the blog emails:
How come we can call the new Covid strain from Brazil “The Brazil Strain” but we can’t call the Chinese strain “The Chinese Strain”?
Presumably because Brazilians are “white Hispanics” [1]
[1] “Hispanic”, meaning from the Iberian Peninsula, which is where Portugal is. And yes, the vast majority of Brazilians are not of Iberian descent. The joke is as absurd as the intersectional double-standard.
I don’t think your assertion about Hispanic is correct nor your presumption. The reason “we can’t call the Chinese strain ‘The Chinese Strain'” is because the cultural guardians are in the pocket of the Chinese (CCP version).
If it wasn’t for double-standards these people running things now, wouldn’t have any standards.
The phrase Chinese virus carries useful information.
That’s why Biden & the Dems want it banned.
If the logic is indeed that we can call it a Brazil variant because ‘most Brazilians are white”, I’m going to have to suggest a trip to Wikipedia or Brittanica for our port side friends. Most Brazilians are mixed race, black, or Asian.
“White Hispanic” was invented so the fake news clowns could call the killer of a black thug a white man.
