Lana Condor calls out Trump for his ‘Chinese virus’ rhetoric
    2020-03-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

LANA CONDOR is calling out U.S. President Donald Trump for repeatedly calling COVID-19 the “Chinese Virus.”

The Vietnamese-born American actress (“X-Men: Apocalpyse,” “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”) slammed the president on Twitter for seemingly trying to get Americans to associate the pandemic that’s now spread worldwide with people from China.

“You have no idea the ramifications your racist words and actions have on the Asian-American community,” Condor wrote. “You simply cannot even fathom the danger you are putting our community in. How dare you. You should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself a leader? You know what leaders do? They LEAD by setting good examples and ACTION. Something we’ve yet to see you do. You need to take notes on Chinese billionaire Jack Ma who is ACTUALLY leading — by donating tests and millions of masks to AMERICA because you haven’t. Please. Be Better. So we aren’t afraid to leave our house in fear someone will verbally or physically abuse us because of your xenophobia.”

Trump used the term “Chinese Virus” in a series of tweets this week. On Wednesday the president defended the usage to reporters. “It’s not racist at all,” he said. “No, not at all. It comes from China, that’s why. It comes from China. I want to be accurate.”(SD-Agencies)
