WHO renames monkeypox as mpox, citing racism concerns

[SAN_Man]

I demand that the WHO and CDC eliminate "Swine flu" once and for all.
Rename it to Sflu...NOW!

Swine flu is an extremely dangerous and derogatory term for our members (of color/lgbtqia++) in our law enforcement. It's still ok to call straight white cops "pigs" though.

Chickenpox is another. It's racist against BIPOCs, the word "chicken" is a dog whistle and reference to white supremacy.

Elephantiasis...need I saw more? Offensive to with people with naturally large appendages.

I always thought it was a derogatory term for the hosts of the View.
