He is racist, but he is not the first nor the most racist. Within the last 100 years, Wilson takes the cake for that one.

Yes, but many people say Trump is the best racist president.  No one ever like him, I've heard.

To be fair, Joe can't remember much before the past few weeks.

To be fair, each week this year has felt like a month, so I feel him.

Probably would have been better to say in our lifetime.  We didn't know what Reagan and Nixon were saying until the tapes came out.  DJT throws out "China Virus" and blames the immigrants he says his new wall is keeping out for the virus.  

Actually now that I think about it Trump might be the best racist president ever...he's not afraid to be racist and xenophobic in public in an age where it is less acceptable than ever.

You are not lying, this year has felt like a decade.  The Chinese curse is in full effect this year to be sure.

FDR could give him a run. There were intern camps for Japanese American citizens after all, but hardly anything of the same magnitude for white German Americans (though some were brought in and questioned). And he refused to allow black soldiers to fight. Eventually ones like the Tuskegee Airmen came around and Patton allowed black troops to command a tank battalion I believe. There were few other examples, but not much. Heck 80 years prior in the Civil War, more black troops fought in combat in the last year of the war than all of WW2 multiplied by a ton.

Irony:

Racist=Calling a virus that originated and spread from China the "China Virus"
Not racist= Naming it after the Spanish word for crown.

I don't believe that's applicable here. Due to both Spanish and English sharing some root words with Latin. It's probable that the word corona was chosen as a natural entry from Latin to English. Similar to the word coronation, meaning to crown a king.

Yet it came from China

No argument there. I'm just saying the use of the word corona isn't with racist intent.

Yet it had a name.  Weird that only Trump and his minions are the only ones calling it the "China Virus".

You'd think Donald "I'm gonna be the only president to stop China from kicking our asses" Trump would be loathe to give China credit for killing so many Americans, but here we are.

Well, Latin, actually. It's part of a family of viruses that have had that name since the sixties named Coronaviridae. But hey, whataboutism, right?

Nearly 25 years after my most recent Latin class I still laugh out loud when I think of Pupienus.

I'm sure if the virus gave special superpowers instead of killing people, Trump would absolutely be trying to get his name into the mix. Something like "well sure the virus came from there, but I know Xi, he's a great guy. I made a deal with him to get it over here to give our great citizens superpowers. Many people call it the beautiful Trump China virus. "

also Not racist = labeling the Spanish Flu a 100 years ago as such, even though it most likely didn't even originate in Spain or in Latin America.

I don't mind it called the China Flu, eff China afterall. They are still Communist last time I checked and I would not be surprised that they knowingly allowed it to spread around the world. Now if it was labeled the Asian Flu, then that is racist imo.

I'm not sure how that's "whataboutisim". I simply pointed to the irony that calling a virus from China the China Virus is considered racist because.....but giving it a Latin Name is not because......

Where were all the woke people during the Spanish Flu?
