Well, that name was given to it before intelligent society came to the understanding that that sort of naming encourages racism. While I feel that political correctness has gone way overboard in some ways, this one makes sense to me. There's just too many ignorant people who think that a Chinese-American who was born and raised in the US and has never even been to China poses more of an infection threat than their white neighbor. No reason to add more fuel to their racist fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hud Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 One would think adults would understand, no matter what it is called. Just shows how many immature children are members here. Everything is a Lot more important than what a person refers to it by name. We all know it originated in Wuhan, China. THAT will NEVER change. Grow up, "politically correct" children; no one cares what you think since 2016, and that will continue into 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even searched for Chinese virus at WHOs site, but nada. Same with UN site. Please stop making things up. SMH. Critical reading is more important than ever. I was responding to daisy as to why NOT to call it the Chinese virus. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please send me in pm the link for that hilarious video of the older couple about isolation, choice A or B. The thread was deleted by mod for whatever reason. That was the funniest video I have seen this past week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
