众议院通过决议案：谴责疫情以来针对亚裔的歧视和仇恨案，包括Chinese virus说法

The House passed a resolution Thursday condemning “all forms of anti-Asian sentiment as related to COVID-19” in a 243-164 vote.

The measure came amid Democratic lawmakers repeatedly blasting President Trump for referring to coronavirus as the “Chinese virus,” alleging the rhetoric has led to an influx of discrimination against Asian Americans.

The measure — spearheaded by Rep. Grace Meng (D-N.Y.) — highlighted that the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have stated that connecting the name of the virus to the geographic location where it originated perpetuates a stigma.

Proponents of the resolution said it is necessary to combat bigotry as instances of harassment and violence against the Asian community have increased since the start of the pandemic.

“Sadly this bigotry is being fueled by some in Washington, and you would think, I thought this would be almost unanimous consent to condemn violence against Asian Americans. Even from the White House itself, which uses dangerous, false, and offensive terms to describe the coronavirus,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on the floor ahead of the vote.

能有人站出来是好事，可光“强烈谴责”有啥用啊？Trump看着像怕被谴责的人吗？

感觉除了谴责也干不了啥了。。。你看那些BLM的貌似除了游行谴责打砸抢之外也没干啥别的了

这件事其实象征意义更大，它反映了民主党以及部分美国民意对于反对歧视华裔的态度。

总比没有强， 斗争怎么可能那么容易就一步到位
