'Kung Flu': Texas Ramen Eatery Covered in Racist Graffiti After Owner Opposed Lifting Mask Mandate

A Texas ramen restaurant was vandalized with racist graffiti on Sunday after its owner spoke out against Republican Governor Greg Abbott's recent decision to lift the state's coronavirus mask mandate.

Photos shared to Facebook showed racist graffiti in red ink on the windows of the restaurant, including the words, "No Mask," "Kung Flu," "Commie," "Hope U Die" and "Ramen Noodle Flu."

It will be interesting to see if this was another fake hate crime or the real thing. Removing a little graffiti is less expensive than a lot of free advertisement. Time will tell.

How do you know? The epidemiologists are not sure yet. Tracking it back can take a lot of time.

virtually everyone thinks, and all evidence points to Wuhan as the the starting point.

The controversy is if it jumped species at the wet market, or got lose from the lab. (Viral Institute)

China has made wild claims like it came in frozen foods from Europe -but thats bogus

Considering China had had virus escape from labs before.....Why didnt Blinken demand inspections?

I suspect one of the reasons Asian-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Black Americans overwhelming vote Democratic, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, is because of conservative attitudes expressed in this post and others.

We see a complete Deplorable denial that Kung Flu and Chinese Virus are inflammatory in the context of this pandemic.

A willful denial that this nation has significant and unresolved problems with racism, bigotry, anti-Semitism

Bruce Lee's daughter on 'kung flu': 'My father fought against racism in his movies. Literally.'

Shannon Lee, daughter of legendary martial artist and pop culture icon Bruce Lee, denounced President Donald Trump’s use of the term “kung flu” as a nickname for COVID-19.

She also shared thoughts on harnessing the philosophy of kung fu to overcome the insult.

Lee, who regularly writes and speaks on her father’s philosophies, told NBC Asian America the president’s racist rhetoric runs counter to the actual spirit of the practice of kung fu as well as the late icon’s teachings.
