Voting for trump legitimizes the white supremacists. Anything they do you’re not allowed to, or you’re guilty by association.I hear that a white supremacist group will be voting for Trump in November.
So we shouldn't vote for Trump now because that would be a racist vote. I'm also ashamed to be white.
**** China!
Exactly! It’s tied to usage! I’m glad we agree finally. So calling it a wuhan virus isn’t racist. Nobody here is using it in that sort of usage.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has decided to pull back from associating the novel coronavirus with China, which he had previously done by calling it the "China virus" or the "Chinese virus."After consulting with medical experts, and receiving guidance from the World Health Organization, CNN has determined that that name is both inaccurate and is considered stigmatizing.
"Look, everyone knows it came out of China, but I decided we shouldn't make any more of a big deal out of it," Trump told Fox News. "I think I've made a big deal. I think people understand it."
The President said he didn't regret using the terms to describe the virus and defended his past adoption of the terms by referencing other infectious diseases that are named after where they originate.[/QUOTE]

[STRIKE]They breathe air, too[/STRIKE]. Carbon based homo sapiens inhale into their lungs through the mouth or nose due to muscle contraction and then exhaled due to muscle relaxation a mixture of different gases such as Oxygen, nitrogen, Argon,carbondioxide and other gases.
You're so clever.
This entire debate was brought to you by a Mexican beverage company....
....because they certainly DON'T want it to be called "Corona".
The defense rests.
Wuhan Scourge it is.
But the major voices who continue using it are racist.
Mainline people on both sides of the isle have dropped it, including President Trump.

We’re all in this together? Really? If that were really true, there would be toilet paper on the shelves. That there’s not toilet paper on the shelves just shows we’re in this for ourselves.OK... I’m officially sick and tired of hearing this “we’re all in this together”.

So your response is that there is no racism, that all of those 650 reports (as of two weeks ago) are false? You instead want an anecdote naming a particular person?
How about Thomas Robb? He prefers the term "Chinese virus." If he has an opinion outside the norm, my knee-jerk reaction is going to be the opposite.
Even President Trump dropped the geographical designation, regularly just calling it the coronavirus.
I think it is worse and has some negative implications. I stated that opinion. I gave reasons why I hold that opinion. To me, worse with negative
implications without some decent reason makes it not a valid construction; to me it's a problematic construction.
When I first spoke up on the topic, I figured that people who were calling it "Wuhan flu" were doing so without malice, and I tried to indicate that. I didn't make any accusations. I certainly didn't try to
come across as scolding anyone.
I said that it's better for INGO if we use the widespread terminology rather than terminology that seems to put blame on a subset of people. (A subset, by the way, who were themselves ravaged by Covid-19 and who live under government oppression that makes our current situation here seem like liberty and prosperity.) I still think that is true.
It sure seems to matter to some people here that they get to use whatever wording they want without even the slightest challenge to their thinking.

Ok so now I’m lost on what to call it... is “Moo Goo Gai Pandemic” acceptable?
