Jeremy Lin attacca Donald Trump dopo aver definito il coronavirus il "virus cinese"

L’ex star dei New York Knicks, Jeremy Lin, ha accusato il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump, di “potenziare il razzismo” nel bel mezzo della pandemia di coronavirus (COVID-19) che terrorizza il mondo intero.

Lin, che ha attualmente firmato con i Beijing Ducks nella Chinese Basketball Association dopo nove stagioni nella NBA, si è offeso per le parole di Trump che ha definito il COVID-19, il “virus cinese”.

Il 31enne taiwanese-americano ha reso noto il suo dispiacere attraverso una serie di tweet.

🤦🏻‍♂️I wish you would powerfully support the vulnerable people that will suffer due to our mismanagement of this virus, including those that will be affected by the racism you’re empowering https://t.co/QfRHiOFGEm

And I dont wanna hear about no German measles/Spanish flu bc everyday Asian-Americans inc ppl I know are threatened and physically attacked. I dont give a crap about the history of names rn. What I do know is this subtle anti-Chinese message only empowers more hate towards asians

Can you honestly tell me there is ZERO anti-Chinese sentiment in all his characterizations of the virus? Can you honestly tell me Asians aren't being unfairly physically attacked today in the US? Is it that hard to use coronavirus or COVID-19? We playin the blame game in a crisis https://t.co/OsGo5wvW1k
