Biden has spoken out, repeatedly, against the xenophobia perpetuated by the Trump administration.
This statement is literally 5 days old:

This statement is literally 5 days old:
Biden criticizes Trump in statement against anti-Asian coronavirus racism
"Donald Trump and his Administration have failed to show almost any moral leadership when it comes to this issue,” Biden wrote in the statement.

This is just so ridiculous. Trump had a reporter plant a question a few days ago implying Obama funded a Chinese lab that created the virus!!
And you aren't going to vote for his opponent?!?
Sorry, not buying it.
No but let's be real about who's been perpetrating the attacks, and who people are saying this is resonating with
Trump's secretary of state wouldn't let the G7 put out a cohesive statement on COVID-19 because they wouldn't officially call it "The Wuhan Virus"
This ad while not perfect never even uses the word "chinese people"
The two are not congruent.
While I can understand people having issues with this, you are being intentionally dishonest to say this is more racist than trump. I'm not going to argue with that sort of intellectual dishonesty or straight up trolling
That's a global problem, wildlife markets are just the tip of the iceberg.
Factory farming, unsanitary conditions, overuse of antibiotics and all the usual practices in animal agriculture contribute to this.
Swine flu, bird flu, the next pandemic will come sooner or later if we don't treat animals better globally.
(But I doubt we will because profits)
I think its fucking racist to claim Biden is more racist than Trump after what Trump did yesterday but hey maybe I'm wrong.

As far as I'm aware, humans generally don't have yellow skin. No, I want you to stop lying.
"You're actually more racist as an Asian person for finding this racist, thus a Trump supporter"
livewl
This place is so fucking disgusting and hostile to Asian people it's not even funny, we used to have a lively Asian hangout thread but guess what everyone fucking left the site because of shit like this thread
Lesath is one of the few Asians on this site who bother posting on political threads and you're calling them a liar lol
fucking hell man
So with the benefit of hindsight, how many democracy was able to contain the outbreak when it take place in their own country? Taiwan, South Korea and who else?

This is absurd.
The OP dropped this turd of a thread and then logged-off? Sounds convenient.
I can appreciate that heightened tensions are going to weigh on a lot of people, especially those that may be perceived to be at fault simply because of how they look.
What is particularly galling about some of the garbage takes from some posters is that somehow I need a permission slip from random Asian-looking people to comment on the mendacity of an authoritarian Chinese government currently engaged in a genocide.
Get a grip folks

Sometimes a country's government does bad things. That can't be covered up because we're concerned people might be racist against the civilians as a result. An extreme example would be: We shouldn't deny the Holocaust in order to prevent racism against Germans.
The 40,000 travelers from China were probably mostly US Citizens returning so how is that racist?
Well, I'm glad you get to decide that and the feelings of Asian members on the forum aren't real.
Like seriously? You guys are so fucking awful at handling any criticism of Biden at all
I'm sorry, but what?
You don't vote Biden, then what. Trump wins and your family is safe?
lmfao this is so bad it makes me doubt your actual point. I'm brown and I have had aggressive racism pointed to me and my family over YEARS. These last 4 years have been even worse. Our local mosque has had a record amount of bomb threats over the past 2 years, this administration tried to ban Muslims from entering, and in general has incited violence against all minorities. Not to mention they removed white supremacy as a threat/reduced FBI staffing for it.
What makes you think you'll be safe under an even more outrageous Trump? Term 2 will just validate himself more. Please, for your family, look beyond the presidency
...is that really all you took away from this thread? No one is saying you can't criticize the Chinese government.
Can't wait until Asians start getting rounded up and pogromed in the west, I got yelled at and called a Chinese dog for going to the supermarket to buy toilet paper.
"Random Asian-looking people" god i'm going to fucking puke
If it were like the newspaper headlines with pictures of random Asian travelers minding their own business I would definitely call it blatantly racist. They're using stock footage of an airport.
Still not great but it's ridiculous to call it more racist than Trump
What gives you the authority to make its claim and speak over Asians in the process?
just as like an fyi here, as someone who only slightly knows lesath, they're not a trump supporter in the least (and are, in fact, asian)
it's completely fucking grotesque to see how many of you are falling over yourselves to declare things false flags from trump supporters just because people have different ideas of what is and isn't acceptable for political candidates to say and support while retaining their vote. genuinely, you need to look at yourselves and figure out why you respond to things like this. saying "I think this ad contributes to a culture of hostility toward asians and I won't support a candidate that does that" isn't grounds for this kind of shitty response.
you people scare me.

So vote for the opponent of the actual racist President who is actively stoking racism.
Okay, and let's be real about who this is hurting and how this ad does not help to decrease xenophobic sentiments. Can we do that?
You know what's scary? 4 more years of Trump because someone refuses to see the forest for the trees.
CCP control is benefitted by the US having someone like Trump in charge. Trump stokes xenophobia hard and that plays right into CCP nationalism and they use that to frame an "us against them," mentality. The CCPs worst nightmare would be a President that focuses on the government of China and clearly absolves the people. Trump doesn't really care about the humanitarian record of the CCP, he just wants "good deals." I expect a big push for Trump through CCP astroturfing this election.
Sounds totally fine to me. Calling out both Trump and Chinese govt. No where does it mentioned the Chinese people.
It says 40k travellers from China. May be watch again?

Ket, you're more full of shit than most. You're making generalizations while chastizing others for generalizations that they aren't even making. i didn't say shit about how the Asian members of the forum need to feel. I said something to one person who I thought was being ridiculous and insincere because the thread premise is garbage, as is the idea that anyone would agree with it.
People's behaviour in this thread is fucking horrible. Essentially telling Asian-American posters that their only worth is in voting Biden.
