its ktt

KTT turning into a SJW forum, SAD TO SEE, the posters now would have never survived the KTT years ago‼️🤣😂💯x10

Wuhan is safer rn than most US cities re: coronavirus and ppl itt r acting like saying “that’s where it came from” is a justification??

The response would’ve been more appropriate if the kid said he was from Florida

why do you mfs always jump to this like it’s impossible to speak without saying racist s***

faxx its all about outlook
my positivity sxn brother

lol

"Wuhan? Better put my mask on XD"

Yeah, that's just mad inappropriate and he shouldn't have said it. If you can't see how saying "someone from China is in this call, I better put on my mask so I don't get Corona over the internet" can be viewed as racist then idk what to tell you.

OP is always spewing right wing dog whistling bullshit idk why ppl put up w him

Why are people so angry we don't want racial comments made?

It's not as if all jokes will go away, but we'll at least stop this bullshit. What are y'all capping about ffs.

Is it that unreasonable for us to STRIVE or at the very least ATTEMPT to not make racially charged jokes or comments? How anyone could be against this is beyond me.

It’s racist but y’all don’t give even 1/10th of the energy thst you do for this towards China’s role of genocide of Muslims in the country

Pretty sure it was just a terrible attempt at a joke, not anything intentionally racial at the student's expense. He clearly says it just in response to Wuhan, where the virus did originate.

And I doubt anyone would care had the student been black, white or latino and said they were in/from that place because it's only about the location.

Now if the kid left it at "I'm from China" and the teacher said that? Yeah, that's f***ed up.

Free him

White ppl getting offended for ppl

This type of comment achieves nothing.

It perpetuates the stigma against Asians that has been intensified due to this pandemic. Asians for years will be the subject of stupid, juvenile, racist comments like this.

I'm saying that he didn't make the joke because the person is Asian, but because they brought up Wuhan. It was a s***ty attempt at being funny but he in no way deserved to be fired.

Why are you acting as if those two things aren't related???

They brought up Wuhan because they're Asian...you can't just separate these two because it's convenient...

And "deserve" is a tough one -- other professors, and PEOPLE IN POWER, should now realize such things are unacceptable and there are consequences to such actions.

And what's weird (And this is not directed to you) is you and I would probably never make such a joke or comment -- and yet we get up in arms when someone is punished for doing so. Why can't we hold people to higher standards??? The standards, despite being higher, are not even high -- it's just decency.

Because not everything is racist lol

why do you mfs think everything is racist.

the dude was from Wuhan, it was a locational joke (probably inappropriate for a classroom, but not a fireable offense).

It’s like if someone said “oh your from California, better get my surfboard

How is it convenient? I'm stating that the person being Asian makes it seem very more negative than what was intended by him.

Anyone from anywhere on the globe could've said they were in or from Wuhan and the joke would've flown I'm sure.

no he brought up Wuhan cause the student said he was from Wuhan

Bro how would someone whose from Bangladesh say they are in Wuhan

Travel mixed with circumstance? The point remains that he did not say it because of the kid being Asian.

I don't get the argument going on right now. I'm Egyptian -- if I said I'm in Wuhan, and he said "let me put my mask on" -- he would still be wrong to do so.

Is it that hard to not understand that people from Wuhan (and anyone who looks like they're from Wuhan, if you know what I mean) will now be subjected to stupid ass comments like this FOR YEARS?
