...but, "Don't be racist!" Yes, the current U.S. president refers to COVID-19 as "Chinese", but that doesn't mean anyone else has to. I've seen this argument, "But, that's how we name viruses", and then there's a reference to the "Spanish flu" of 1918.
That was 1918. A lot of racist expressions were acceptable at the time. More than a century later, we can do better, can't we?
