We can worry about a pandemic and care about racism, also. Since the current pandemic arose, there have been countless examples of racially-motivated insults and attacks directed toward Chinese-Americans and Chinese-Canadians. Blame and terminology now coming from the POTUS and White House is only going to make that worse.

Another silly losing argument for the Left, who think they have the monopoly on calling things "racist."
Most people recognize that the virus came out of China. They're worried about safety from the virus, not the name of it.
People stopped eating at Asian restaurants weeks ago because of fear. They fear products from China. They fear being around people from China. They fear being around China.
Is shutting the border down to China "racist" too? Because many on the Left said it was, even as they simultaneously accused Trump of not doing enough.
Fear of 'things' associated with China is a rational and useful response. It'll SAVE lives.
And that preservation of life will offset any negative effects of "muh racism xenophobia bigotry"
Just like the Left wanted to open the borders in Europe, in the U.S., to migrants to prevent "muh racism xenophobia bigotry" - a great idea that gave the Chinese Virus more ability to spread.
Look at the U.S., the 'hotspots' of the Chinese Virus are in sanctuary cities, another Leftist gem.
But no, let's worry about what we call it because, you know, that's really important right now...
