There are endless examples on Twitter of people shaming the people screaming "racism" with screenshots of themselves saying it a month or two ago.
Fair enough, to both of you. I honestly hadn't been paying attention to the 'Chinese' part of it, since it was obvious where it came from and I didn't particularly care about that part.Well then you haven't been reading or paying attention to the news until now apparently.
Just do any web search for "Chinese Coronavirus" or "Wuhan Coronavirus" and you will find plenty of examples. Here's just a few from what most people would consider mainstream media. I spent 1 minute just screenshotting these from the first 2 pages.

Notice a trend? A lot are stemming from the December - February time frame like I stated before the political correctness crowd made their insane accusation that it's racist. Either way, the concept that there was intentional racism behind it is just bonkers dude. I really hope you guys can come to terms with that.
No, calling the novel coronavirus the 'Wuhan virus' is not racist
We live in a time when racism is a serious issue. Finding excuses to hurl the racism charge over such minor issues as disease names is silly.www.usatoday.com
While I still think it's senseless to define the locale in the name, I'll concede that I was wrong about it being a recent naming change.
