Hello.... white American netizen here.

Please don't take this ebola-chan hyperbole seriously. No one involved in that ill joke is praying that Africans get ebola and die. And if anyone is, their prayers will go unanswered because the whole dumb thing is a joke.

Some unpleasant people wanted to spread the story of ebola-chan on purpose to see if people would really believe it. It's taking advantage of superstition and distrust and it's wrong. Nothing good will come of it and I can only hope no doctors or aid workers get murdered over ebola-chan.

This whole thing came from a small community of internet users who revel in being awful.
