why is it racists to call the coronavirus a Chinese virus or a Wuhan virus?

@lannie

what about our safety? I haven't seen one Chinese losing their life. If this virus were not contained, we would have lost millions of lives.

Can you blame us for taking safety measures?

Your view are one-sided, what about our side & our safety.

AIDS was discovered in San Francisco, just like Corona virus was found first in Wuhan.

I think it's a recent thing to not label viruses by the region where they originated. But still, China played such a pivotal role in causing this pandemic and China is very insistent on not naming this virus after itself, so people are way too infuriated to accept the recent standards in naming the virus.

And if the "Chinese" label is leading to harm to overseas Chinese, then perhaps they should just use the name CCP(Chinese Community Party) virus as the Falun Gong and its media outlets are zealously promoting. It's the CCP, not Chinese.

If many Americans really think like this, it explains why you can't even contain it. You just have no logic at all can't tell black from white.
