Two of my edits were reverted, here and here, by an editor who mistakenly claims my "edit summary did not appear to describe the change" I made, which it did. He/she then goes on to accuse me of "deliberate misinformation"âand proceeds to misquote me in an attempt to show I misquoted Fauciâwhich I did not. I wrote that Fauci had "referred to events a 'long, long time' in the past that affected blacks"âwhich he had. The reverting editor, claiming this was "deliberate misinformation", wrote that Fauci "says 'For a long time', not 'a long time ago'", thus managing, in less than 10 words, to misquote both Fauci and me. I'll look forward to the editor providing an example of a past event that took place "for a long, long time"but somehow didn't also occur a "long, long time" in the pastâcan something take place for a "long, long time" in the recent past? Or even the present? In the meantime, I'll address reality:
I believe that the potential WP:BLP violation requires that my edit on the Olympians be restored immediately. As to the Fauci quote about past "institutional racism" affecting COVID infection rates: it's hard for me to believe that anyone who's read the article can't immediately grasp why it's obviously off-topicâbut I will patiently wait in the hopes that the reverting editor will acknowledge their obvious error and undo their reversion. And a sincere apology for an unfounded and wildly inaccurate accusation of "deliberate misinformation" that obviously violated WP:AGF would be nice, tooâbut I'm a cockeyed optimist!

The vast majority of attacks have come from African-Americans. Why that is, and the history behind it, should be mentioned. 71.26.103.157 ( talk) 00:57, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
There is a new article in NYT, here is just one quote from there with a link: âI think thereâs a major political agenda that is impacting the science,â said Edward Holmes, a University of Sydney biologist who was part of the group that analyzed the sequences containing raccoon dog DNA. Soon after the group alerted Chinese researchers to their findings, the genetic sequences temporarily disappeared from a global database. âItâs just pathetic that weâre in this stage where weâre having cloak-and-dagger conversations about deleted data,â Dr. Holmes said.

Is this article truly necessary? At one point should we create articles about such so-called xenophobic articles? The Chinese virus is called the Chinese virus because it started in China. In fact, many African immigrants to China were discriminated, physically attacked on the streets by the Chinese, refused to be served in supermarkets, wrongly evicted from their homes despite paying their rent, and denied entry into public transports because they are Black. This was when the Chinese tried to blame the Africans for the virus they themselves had inflicted upon the world. Further, I did not see anyone claiming that names like African swine flu, Ebola virus etc., were racist or xenophobic towards Africans. Therefore, why now and what is so special about the Chinese/Asian? It came from them, so why the double standards? 2A00:23EE:2570:14D:C1A6:CB07:328A:3791 ( talk) 12:46, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
