As we’ve told you previously, the media and others have taken great offense to President Trump’s occasional use of the term “Chinese virus” to describe the origin of the coronavirus:

Count singer Richard Marx among the triggered, and he says that the use of “Chinese virus” makes not only Trump a racist, but also anybody who isn’t offended by the use of the term:
Oh really?
See my name? It’s Chinese. I’m Chinese and I’m telling you it isn’t racist to hold China accountable for the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/TyhyPoXQJH

No, it's called that because it originated in Wuhan, China. It's just a fact. And I say that as a big fan of your wonderful music. https://t.co/J0zlXT1lQD

Saying something that is completely factual is apparently frowned upon by many these days.
