Imagine; Republicans being racists about the coronavirus. From the party that brought you the Southern Strategy , voter caging in New Jersey, voter suppression of minorities, the birther movement and so much more. Like the reversal of the most important section of the 1964 voting rights act.
So, why then is anyone surprised they are using racism in their efforts to deflect from the administrations complete and utter incompetence in dealing with the coronavirus outbreak. It's all part of the party's institutionalized racism.
China says US politicians are stigmatizing the country with ‘despicable’ practice of calling the virus ‘Wuhan coronavirus’ and ‘China coronavirus’

China says US politicians are stigmatizing the country with ‘despicable’ practice of calling the virus ‘Wuhan coronavirus’ and ‘China coronavirus’
Senior Republican figures are facing backlash over an apparent effort to label Covid-19 as “Chinese coronavirus” – as China accused some US politicians of “disrespecting science” in order to “stigmatize” the country.
Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader, and Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state, are among those to add a geographical marker to the coronavirus in recent days.
Pompeo called the virus the “Wuhan coronavirus” on Friday, referring to the Chinese city where the outbreak started, and McCarthy used the term “Chinese coronavirus” on Monday, when he tweeted out a link to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the federal agency that has led the US effort to fight the virus.
