Nobody said that those who use the term "Chinese virus" are necessarily racists. That's beside the point; in my other reply to this subthread, I linked a StackExchange thread which has good responses to why "Chinese virus" should not be considered OK, even considering previous namings as "Spanish flu", including those from experts (such as the WHO). The influenza epidemic of 2009 started in the US. Nobody calls that "North American virus".
Again I would assume that most of us understand the concept of two wrongs don't make a right and that just because someone else does something dangerous and stupid doesn't mean we should.
