Let's not even talk about if the term is racist or not because 99.9% of people will never accept that their behavior as racist. Let's just stick with the fact that using the term "Chinese Virus" will cause Chinese people, Chinese Americans - honestly all Asian people because most people are uninformed and like to broadly group people - to be abused, harassed, beaten. Asian children will be teased and bullied when schools open. Americans of Asian descent will be scared to go out for fear of being attacked. Attacks against Asian Americans are on the rise. So just know that information - accept it - and then ask, would it not be more human, kind, intelligent to call it the Coronavirus - as it's been called by medical professionals for years?
As a quick sidenote: Mad Cow Disease started in England. I've never heard one person suggest that it be called The European Disease.
