In the midst of all these reports of racial animosity towards the Asian, wouldn't it be reasonable to conclude those who insist on using it are probably racist?

I take it you're ok with labeling white domestic terror attack as such when they frequently occur here in the US, right?

The ones who call this out might likely be related to the Chinese Communist Party, there's not much other reason to be upset about what the virus is called.

Yes.

"Oh it originated from..." except you don't care about that when it comes to any other virus. What country did Mad Cow come from? SARS? Bird Flu?

And the when Asian people get attacked by assholes they just don't know what caused it.

Spanish Flu.

Worst part about calling it that was that there was no proof that the flu came from Spain, it got the name like that because Spain, at the time, was the only one honest enough to report it.

Of 1918? Okay. Anything else? Preferably something that happened in our lifetimes?

Also the first outbreak if that is disputed to this day.

People SHOULD care. Of those 3 examples, SARS and the bird flu ALSO came from China.

Those OK with calling it Chinese Virus, how do you feel about the term "White Privilege"? There seems to be an overlap with those who have a problem with the latter defending the use of the former

Ebola river? Hello?

You're having a really hard time today.

Huh. So it does come from there. Alright, fair enough on that part. Though that doesn't change the fact that a lot of the people calling it "China Virus" aren't doing it merely to be accurate to where it came from.

If 10 people use it online maybe 1 or 2 of them would actually use it in real life.

Most people online say things like that because It gets a reaction and they just want to annoy you.

I would say the 2 real life people are likely racist. Most however are just trolling those who make a big deal about it.

Yes. There's no good reason to call it Chinese/Wuhan Virus when it already has fucking 3 accepted names. The only use is to stoke the flames of xenophobia and give us some group to blame this disaster on.

If it's a nickname, tbh I don't really care what they call it lmao. Historically speaking, calling it coronavirus might ultimately befuddle the true origin of the virus. So the term Chinese Virus has a purpose of making the history, at the very least, not forget and make it easier for future generations to understand. However, it's not the most popular name by any stretch. History will still always know it as Coronavirus (COVID-19). So really, this whole Chinese Virus thing doesn't really matter
