Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Tubey]

Oh gosh.

I am just curious about the people you often seem to jump to the defence of and those you choose not to.

Say it then.

 

[dead_soft]

Say it then.

I think you have a belief that defending bigotry is somehow a noble, intelligent position to take and it's, quite frankly, bizarre and often very poorly thought through.

But, go on, tell us how that's not true, you just think we should be discussing if it's the Asians who have helped spread Covid.

 

[arminisgod]

You mean you have.

obtuse

You've just put "definitely a non-racist" in speech marks, thinking you're smart and being cute, getting round the label.

No, I'm telling you to say it or shut up. As per usual, you read none of what I've wrote here, not a word, and just made a glib comment.

Now call me a racist, put it clear as day, or retract that stupid comment.

I've literally said what I am accusing you of. I've not accused you of racism, I've accused you of thinking a centre ground which finds you defending bigotry to be some noble position rather than intellectually and morally empty.

Mad how many people keep trying to get people to call them racists. Odd fetish but on you go.

It’s to get people banned.

As if by clockwork the 'definitely just a rational non-racist' comes riding in

That's what you said.

Retract it, or state it in plain English on here instead of trying to be cute.

Not hard. One or the other.

Yeh I know that ethnic minorities are having a harder time with this and like I said an assumption is fine but to me people need to be careful how they word things (crossed against their posting history too).

Just need to be careful that people don't overcompensate for fear of being labelled as racially biased.

I know for a fact that Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science have modelled likely COVID peaks associated with an overall slowly rising transmission risk, and their models use, among other things, deprivation, population density and ethnicity to predict movements. So, under many circumstances, when they ran those models, it predicted that deprived Asian areas got hit harder than deprived White areas.

That sort of information will get fed through to government at both national, and local areas, and might even mean they'd act slightly sooner in predominately Asian areas than elsewhere. To ignore that, or not want to talk about it in a grown up way, serves no purpose.

Damn those Asians.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Yeah...

As per usual, you have absolutely nothing in reply because you have absolutely no intelligence.

If you think I'm a racist, say it. If not, do one.

Be careful lad - you're arguing with a bot.

Dangerous game to be playing

Nah, you're alright you odd fish. I'm sure you can pay someone to call you a racist if that's your thing?

You have no proof for Asian people spreading Covid but there you were saying you think it might be.

I don't want anyone banned. it's an internet forum, it's designed for people to debate.
