If it is racist to call the current coronavirus the
Wuhan Coronavirus as some liberals are proclaiming, then isn't it racist to use the term white privilege?
Many diseases/troubles are known by names related to their origins:
The Bill Clinton administration labeled a different virus out of Wuhan in the 1990s the "Wuhan Coronavirus."
Lyme Disease from Lyme Connecticut.
Lou Gherig's disease from Lou Gherig.
Norwalk (Ohio) Virus.
Norovirus (named after the Norwalk Virus).
West Nile Virus.
Ebola (named after a river where it started in Africa).
Spanish Flu (likely didn't start there, but where it was believed to have started at the time).
Marburg (Germany) Virus.
Stockholm Syndrome.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
German Measles.
If Wuhan Virus is suddenly offensive we need to rename all of the above and more.
Why were people in China calling it the Wuhan Virus if it is racist? At least until the Chinese government said to stop using the term or you might disappear.
If using the term Wuhan Virus sparks hatred. Why wouldn't the term "white privilege" spark hatred and hoaxes against white people.
Like for instance, it might spark some black lady to hate enough to graffiti "white privilege" in front of a black owned business as we recently saw in the news. Hoax after hoax. Knock out games, etc...
Isn't it time liberals step up and demand that we call "white privilege" by a different and less racist and hate engendering name?
P.S. I don't even call it the Wuhan Coronavirus, but if it is racist to do so, isn't using the term white privilege?
