Lessons of Covid-19 V: xenophobia and racism

Covid-19 As raped by humanity, xenophobia and racism survived and well. For example, a leader of Iran played in fear of America and Israel. He advanced, without evidence, claimed that he was specifically created by Iranian virus. The Chinese designed the virus (to reduce population or use against other nations) The world rise was also racism in Xenophobia and Asia.

A reason for xenophobia and racism is looking for a spectacular enemy to get people fear and anger. Many people felt unprotected and afraid because they tend to focus on other humans and focus on other humans, Xenophobia and racial rise. People also tend to seek the mind behind the risks, when natural disasters were attributed to the gods. Humans feed the group bias and evil leaders that feed xenophobia and racism, it is not surprising that people have searched a hat for crisis: someone must be blamed. Someone has to pay.

The United States had a long tradition of racism against Asians, they managed to increase xenophobia and racism. While most of the incidents were restricted to verbal hostility, serious concerns of racism in the context of diseases are created. The United States has racism weapons in the context of diseases and should be against this because leaders try to reach their base and divert attention away from their defeats. Example of an effort for American use of xenophobia and racism Donald Trump is using the term “Chinese virus” instead of “Coronavirus” or “Covid-19”.

Trump had great reasons for the use of these conditions. One is attracted to parts of his base. The dog whistle sends a message that speaks with them. The second reason is that he had changed the blame on the innocent and harmful management of pandemia. By presenting the Chinese virus as the Trump, the threat is responsible for a foreign power (and people) and tried to alleviate his responsibility. The third, “the US” helped create a mindset, “them” with other people than the virus. Unfortunately, Trump achieved some advantages of this approach while it was a great cost.

There are those who will defend Trump and take the subject of my criticism. My first answer is that Trump is an example of xenophobia and racism problem. If a Trump defender claims that he would not care about racism or xenophobia, then I would mention the virus to the virus. I think Trumpen supporters would agree that Xenophobia of other countries in the United States was not helpful and, in fact, harmful.

My second answer Trump is in charge of open racism and xenophobia. He used a well-known racist and racist neighborhood of foreign disease and foreign. It was also used in the racks aimed at caravans that are sickly sick. Trump advocates had to make effortless efforts to expel their apparent racist claims. Inadvertently, unintentionally, unintentionally unused troops and racist languages ​​should argue. Although it is not impossible, it filters the limitations of the option.

Another proof is what Trump uses His high rigor “Crown” crossed his speech and replace the “Chinese”He showed his use, than the slip. His advocates can make verbal gymnastics to explain it. A strategy used the “Chinese virus” phrase used by the “Spanish flu”. While this approach has a recourse, the phrase “Spanish flu” is also a problem. Labeling a disease with a particular country or ethnicity tends to carry stigma and racism. Therefore, the use of “Spanish flu” is like using “Wetback” by using people using “Wop”.

A second strategy is to argue where Trump comes from, and mentioned that he mentioned the bonus points, with the name “Wu Han Han Han Han Hanus”. It can be said that it cannot be racist or xenophobic to use the Chinese “China virus” because the Chinese used “Wu Han Virus”. The use of the term “Wuan Han Han Han Han” is also an easy answer and the use of the same reasons for the “Spanish flu” and the “China Virus”. To use analogy, it would be a Chinese leader who was talking about the “Caucasian flu” and, for example, when Americans began to use the term “Connecticut flu”, when the disease appeared in Connecticut. As Trump decided to mention “Chinese flu”, there is no explanation for this period, the best explanation is obvious: Trump used a sheen and racist dog in a trap over illness and foreign disease. For those who would try to introduce this in positive light, why should be asked why? And why defend against racism and xenophobia’s reasonable position?

As mentioned above, there was already an effort to call the Asian (and Asian Americans) and Trump “China viruses”. The use of this type of tag has put the United States together with other regions. And other countries that accuse us had the same effect. The American is harmful against other Americans, especially the union of the community is an important part of our survival tool. It is also harmful to create conflicts between nations when collaborations will improve the response to pandemic. Pandemic is a war between humans and a disease. Creating a conflict between humans would serve the selfish purposes of some leaders, but harms humanity. Therefore, it is a key lesson of Pandemic Covid-19 Pandemic that racism and xenophobia will worsen things. As always.
