It is well known to be racist to call Covid-19 the China virus.
However, people freely refer to the new strain of Covid-19 as the South African virus/strain. I think it is symbolic of how the world respects the light skinned Asians and hates the dark skinned Africans.
It is fucking bullshit if you ask me. The African nations should demand that anyone calling the new strain the South African strain must deposit funds into the World Bank for the benefit of Africa.
