There is much discussion online that referring to the COVID-19 virus as the “Chinese Flu” is racist.
First, everything is racist these days. You cannot say anything without the progressives calling you racist.
Second, there is a history of naming the viruses by the location they originated. How soon they forget:
- Japanese Smallpox epidemic (735)
- Italian plague (1630)
- Great Plague of London (1665)
- Russian Flu (1890)
- Spanish Flu (1918-1920)
- Asian Flu (1957)
- Hong Kong Flu (1968)
- Mexican Flu (2009)
- Swine Flu (2010) — I’m sure that’s racists against pigs.
- Chinese Flu (2019)
Chill, people. It’s easier than memorizing H1N1, H2N2, H3N2, etc.
