Is it really racist to call covid-19 a "wuhan virus"?

if calling the 1918 influenza pandemic the spanish flu isnt racist even tho it didnt come from spain then calling the covid-19 "china virus" or "wuhan virus" also isnt racist, the "kung-flu" one would depend of context

And some of these are going to see some use.
Mandate of Heaving especially is gold.

No. The funniest thing about this is that the same people that complain about this have no problem with referring to the UK or Brazilian mutation.

No, it isn't. In fact, I fully support calling it the Chinese Virus and attributing it as much as possible to China. Us Vietnamese in the US that are based know just as well as other asian immigrants that China needs to be in check.

My parents didn't escape a communist hell hole for nothing; tell it as it is.

If the overseas variants are named by their country of origin, then why can't the other one be? Also, the 1920 Spanish flu quite rightly was brought up, which hasn't seen a rename by woke zoomers all of a sudden.

With all the companies in bed with the CCP fucking not in heaven, but somewhere even more great to be fucking in (if we're to believe what the Bible says about 'having your cake and eating it' with the analogy of there being no fucking in heaven)... and the mere fact the COVID-19 pandemic happened just three weeks after the Huwaei ban was tried to be put in, just seems like all too much of a coincidence. Plus the vaccines have unknown long-term effects, most others have rigorous (years) of testing, while this one has took only one year before everyone is suddenly going 'it's a magical cure'... Smells fishy, and not in a way that is sexually pleasing.

No and if anything, people are only going to keep on making more creative names to describe the origins from the padnemic.

Like Sun Tzu Flu for example.

Looking back it is funny how people thought "wuhan virus" was offensive. In SKR we called it "Chinese Bat Flu" and I know people called it much worse. Did people really think calling it as it's origin point was offensive? Like WHAT?
