I agree, it's not 'Chinese Virus' or 'Kung Fu Virus', it's Wuhan Flu! -San Antonio City Council unanimously passes resolution denouncing COVID-19 hate speech SAN ANTONIO — City Council unanimously passed a resolution that denounces the use of terms like 'Chinese virus' and 'Kung Fu Virus' as San Antonio continues to fight against the spread of COVID-19. The resolution condemns any hate speech, violent action and the "spread of misinformation related to COVID-19." In a letter to council members, Mayor Ron Nirenberg says the city must take a stand against COVID-19 hate speech. "This coronavirus has held no regard for race, religion, creed, or political boundary. As such, our efforts must meet the indiscriminate nature of COVID-19 with empathy and compassion for all our neighbors," writes Nirenberg. "I ask that you consider adopting the attached resolution - which declares that our COVID-19 response efforts will be free of hate and discrimination - at the next Council A-Session." Nirenberg's letter adds that terms like 'Chinese virus' and 'Kung Fu Virus' only encourage hate crimes and incidents against Asian communities; and that the Jewish community has also been targeted with blame and conspiracy theories regarding coronavirus. https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/san-antonio-mayor-proposes-resolution-denouncing-covid-19-hate-speech
