About as many people know the difference between China and Chinese (and Oriental) as know the difference between jealousy and envy - ie, not many. They are not being racist, they just don't know the difference.

On a separate topic, I also hear people associate the term "coronavirus" as strictly the one that originated from China, when, in fact, there have been other previous strands of the coronavirus, and the term "coronavirus" is a general term.

I also think the terms used by government officials (i.e. "Kung Flu", "Chinese virus", etc.) and the media made Asian people to be walking targets.

Newest Chinese gov't BSL-4 lab? In Wuhan.
Focal center for facemask production? Wuhan. Focal center for nonwoven polypropylene? Wuhan. Coincidence? Probably. But still... |

No one can call me racist. I hate all stupid people equally. Maybe that makes me racist against stupid people?

I have a friend who works for Capital One. He's the head of his dept. They told him to work from home. So he went out and traded his small camper in and got a big Airstream camper. He's camping out in some campground in the Shenandoah Mountains. He's working from there.

What ever you want to call it. It still makes people sick.
The Kung Fu Flu sounds good to me. Because it will kick your azz.
