So what you are saying is we'll be seeing for the first time an update to a Democrat of the Day profile on April 1st?
(Also, sorry for a lack of posts and presence around here folks. Been really busy with a lot of life situations and now preparing to move to a new home).
Opinions may vary in quality.
My big article on Mariko Tamaki's Hulk & She-Hulk runs, discussing the good, bad, and its creation.
My second big article on She-Hulk, discussing Jason Aaron's focus on her in Avengers #20.
On the K word, the fact that it rarely pops up actually makes the ignorance argument worse imo. The word is such a specific slur it's hard to accidentaly use it unless you're around people that constantly use it.
The last time I even heard it used was a South Park episode from Cartman and even he knew it was an extreme thing to say.

Bunn for Deadpool's Main Book!

I know my first mistake is in looking for logic in racism, so forgive me. But where's the logic? Maybe, maybe, (OK definitely, but so do we) the Chinese government was experimenting with biological weapons. And maybe, maybe one of them got out. That doesn't mean everyone in the Chinese government is to blame (or honestly even the ones working on it, depending on what happened if it was a Wuhan lab leak). It makes even less sense to blame the billion plus Chinese citizens. And then to stretch that blame to US citizens of East Asian descent (many of whom aren't even Chinese)?
I grew up with very racist people in my life. Grand parents, uncles, aunts, even my dad. So to me hating certain people was just how it was. I never thought about why this was the case. Not until several years ago. I have posted on here about my changing political views and one of those big changes is one my views of race. I am looking a lot more into things and trying to open my mind. I will admit I still have my moments where I do have disparaging thoughts Hell im a human raised by a family of racist redneck republicans to admit otherwise would be a lie. looking at my views of the past and even now on some races I know there is no logic behind any of them. That is it dumb as Hell. Now rather then letting those moments slide I think about what brought it on and why I had that thought to begin with.
I think one thing that started my change of views is my friend Jay. I met him in a mental health support group. he is African American. I didnt talk to him much. Then one day we talked about comics, then Dnd, then found other ground and it has turned into a five year friendship. I found common ground with him on a human level. I know that ten or Hell even 8 years ago I would not have made the effort to talk to him in the first place let alone invute him into my house or share many of the personal things I have shared with him.

The lab leak was always an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory, it was knowingly pushed by the media anyway, and not just the fringe right wing outlets, exactly because it strikes a chord with the latent xenophobia among the American public that has been around ever since Asian people started coming here. Besides, even if the average American was able to tell the difference between people of different ethnicities, would it somehow be better if the hate crimes specifically only targeted Chinese citizens? By the way, there is absolutely no documentation or evidence that China has ever operated a biological weapons program, largely due to the trauma caused by the germ warfare used by Japanese forces during WW2, aside from the general assumption among people these days that China is doing all sorts of evil shit for no reason and are just really good at hiding it.

It’s worth pointing out that a lot of the nostalgia Conservatives have for the ‘50s has to do with the rise of the civil rights movement in the’60s and the subsequent voting rights gained in the southern states. The switch from Democratic to Republican of the white southern voter base can be traced directly to the GOPs support of Confederate statues, Baptist evangelicals, and unabashed partisan gerrymandering in that region.
