Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist has shed light on a peculiar matter.
She claims people are being racist amid coronavirus. She claimed that people are boycotting and avoiding going to Asian and Chinese restaurants.
She says “Honestly this sounds crazy to me.
A lot of restaurant owners are felling they have been boycotted and the reason behind it is racism.
This is making them feel pain.” she said in her Instagram live.
She talked about how it is pathetic that in the name of coronavirus, people are turning racial.
Yes, corona may have come from China but this does not mean that every single Chinese or Asian is infected.
This also never means that the restaurants are serving the infection on their menu.
Many politicians and journalists who have been vocal about the matter have accepted how it is racist to call out the coronavirus with China’s name on it.
On the same, the American Council of Science and Health said that as per historical learning, humans have been calling out diseases, humans, and animals under the name of their birth land.
There are numerous diseases that have been named after the place of their origin.
One such disease even includes the United States.
While this is racist on many levels, WHO has tried to eliminate the practice.
In recent years, WHO has taken up the practice of naming a disease after neutral terms rather than going out for names based on the name of the place of origin.
While there are many who appreciate the practice by WHO, there are several in the run who does not.
Some critics and politicians have also been saying that not naming coronavirus after China is a strategical plan of Communist China.
Well, we are not in the position to tell you if it is a racial practice or not.
So it is time for you to tell us about it in the comments.
