Moderator staff here is biased. Always has been. If you are using the term in a debasing way then sure. But, if you are simply calling it that because that is where it originated then uh why?

Hell, everyone was calling it The Wuhan Flu or Wuhan Virus around the end of January. Including WebMD.

Lol what a crock of bullshit of course the Chinese get their feelings hurt and the fucking traitor media in this country use it as an opportunity to attack Trump over some meaningless bullshit instead of addressing real issues.

Particularly annoying because the Chinese collectively are extremely racist themselves.

Leftists are actually bringing their safe space bullshit ideology to a real crisis.

They stopped naming this way because they feel it stigmatizes the area or people. It isn't because it is racist lol.

I am sure Corona would love for it to stop being called the Coronavirus also due to the stigma.

Well said, people need to understand the difference between stigmatization and racism clearly. It's one thing to call out someone to stigmatize something, its another thing to accuse that person of racism.
