Some black people were concerned about calling it The Chinese virus because it may be racist. Meanwhile, this is how China treats black people.https://twitter.com/demosisto/status/1248620700459356161 …
the anti-CCP opinion I hear going around is basically "the US elite is bought by the Chinese government, won't say anti-China things, and it got a lot of people killed because admitting a Chinese virus was serious would have made China look bad."

Obviously, racism against Chinese-Americans is still, in fact, bad. (& tbh I'm not crazy about calls to demonize the nation of China either.)

what's going on at a political level is that China-bashing isn't about the Chinese. it's a populist thing against the "international" class. seems like the account you replied to is a black populist/nationalist, hence the "hotep."
