Here is a quick racism test, if you'd fuck a women of any race and only decide based on individual preference or the content of their character then you aren't racist.

So for example American slave owners who had sex with some of their Afro-American slaves before or during the civil war proved with their actions that they weren't racist?

Russia held an Olympics and a World Cup after annexing Crimea.

Qatar are still likely to hold a World Cup despite many of the top people involved being part of a corruption scandal and it generally being a bad idea due to the slave labour, sexism, homophobia, intolerance of alcohol, the heat and even the size of the country.

Yet you think China will lose the Olympics because a virus started there? Either other countries are massive hypocrites and should be ashamed of themselves for letting worse things go, or the Chinese Olympics will still happen.

Unleashing a global killing and economy killing virus onto the world far eclipses some country annexing a tiny piece of land.

The economy seems pretty fine to me and as we already established; money > human lives. So really, there is nothing that China has to worry about.

If you want to boycott China you need to start by boycotting the US companies who do business with China. Good luck with that.

For example, lets have a look at how the China Hater in Chief is trying to boycott China.

Oh boy.

I'm human, therefore I'm racist. Suppressing innate racist tendencies is part of modern life. I've grown up with stereotypes as many others and my young life 'racism' as a Dutch kid from (grand) parents who survived WW2 was directed at Germans and Russians while the USA was this wonderful nation that could do no wrong. (Canadians liberated our town so they're even better!) Later the the blame game was directed at Polish and Turk immigrant and migrant workers. Chinese were fine since everyone liked their food (culturally appropriated of course)

My mother was a contradiction by herself. She worked for refugee organizations while often uttering borderline racist remarks over the people she volunteered to help. The line between cultural behavior, stereotypes and racism often got blurred. My grandfather (father's side) didn't hide any of his racism, including against my mother (Who was born in Indonesia. She fled with her parents from Indonesia after her younger sister, before my mother was born, died in a Japanese concentration camp, during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, where my grandmother was held) My grandfather (father's side) spend most of WW2 in a German labor camp.

We have it easy nowadays.

The potential cold or hot war on China is hypocritical. But I don't care :)

You need to get out of Canada lad, it's done a number on you. Next you'll be saying you're a bad person for being straight, white and male. Move to one of the better parts of Europe, Ireland perhaps, we are like Canada but housewives don't have majority control over our everyday lives and who gets put in charge. Honestly man, take a step back once and a while and reassess what your country is indoctrinating you into, Canada is like a cult when you look in from the outside, a cult of menopausal women who call the shots and men who are predisposed to being pussy whipped. 

And I imagine this sentiment isn't sexist because you have sex with women?

"Unleashing" suggests intent. Prove it!

A virus just happening to start there isn't their fault and definitely isn't worse than what other countries have done in recent years.

I misspoke.  It was an accidental release, imo.

I've read that twice now and I can't find the sexism. Which one was it, The menopausal women or pussy whipped men remark or sonething else? I don't know how I went from being racist to sexist, maybe I am sexist but not intentionally and it rather feels like people are pointing fingers just to say racist and sexist and whatever "ist" it is. I can assure you though, I love women individually and womenly characteristics I just have issues with certain groups of women in modern day and that isn't sexist by definition as it's the ideas of those groups and not their biology.

I've bolded the sexist bits for you. 

To be more serious, the idea that Canada is run by menopausal housewives because all the men are too pussy whipped is the sexist bits. But that's like the whole post so.....

There won't be a war between China and the US. What is needed is economic sanctions on China.

Trump tried that and then China accidentally unleashed a virus on the world, remember ;)

Hmmm, in that case, maybe it was deliberate on their part.
