They’ve tested huge numbers of animals for covid in and around Wuhan and come up empty.

Anyway, for the relevant topic for this thread, jman said it was racist to say the lab leak was a credible hypothesis, that it advance racist tropes. What tropes? The wet market hypothesis obviously advances racist tropes about Chinese animal husbandry and eating habits, but I don’t quite understand what racist tropes the lab leak hypothesis advances.
