WHO said it was concerned by the “racist and stigmatizing language” that arose after monkeypox spread to more than 100 countries. It said numerous individuals and countries asked the organization “to propose a way forward to change the name.”
what "individuals or countries" did the world health organization say were being stigmatized by the name monkeypox??? how strange. there are diseases called cowpox, swineflu and chickenpox. is the WHO changing those names, too? are "individuals and countries" worried cowpox, swineflu, and chickenpox are "racist and stigmatizing language"??
They also forgot cat scratch fever. It's definitely an insult to all cats so the name needs to banned.
(The majority of us liberals think most of this "wokeness" is nonsense, btw.)

It's global so it really doesn't matter if the majority of US liberals think it's nonsense.
And it's also now part of our laws (Biden EO) so that nonsense can cost you your job.
there is no appeasing the appetite of the wokies for power grabbing moves upon our language and cultural icons. Woke health organization a subsidiary of the world health org. needs a leadership change.
Enough already!
Yeah,Anyone who wears cotton clothing is a racist!!!
The world has gone WOKE and there's nothing we can do about it.
Common words are becoming triggers so they can't be said and names changed.
What used to mean one thing has changed and now means something else...could be good or could be bad.
And then people wonder why we're becoming more isolated.....
Have they decided that "Hello" is racist and shouldn't be said anymore yet ?
Woke is politicall correctness that has been taken to the extreme by the mentally ill.
It shows you exactly where their minds are. Always accusing others of their own sins.
