You must implement think-change, CNN calls it the 'Wuhan Coronavirus', so it's official now.
Technically he is mixed race as his mother was white.
But to other people, you are being racist, it's all about perception without context. That's why people like you are quick to jump on the racist bandwagon and therefore devalue the term to mean nothing because everything and everyone then becomes racist.
Yes it is, especially when used contextually for the specific it just it's only a hate crime in certain countries.
Context is an important thing, the poster (just like Trump) was using the terminology specifically/intentionally in a derogatory manner.
Which countries?
Have those countries convicted people for using 'Wuhan virus, Ebola and Zika virus?
I guess not, your making things up.
Anyway, CNN states it's 'Wuhan Coronavirus', so follow their rules.

No. Most people still think he is an idiot.People still think he's bluffing
Think implies he may not be. Most people still know he’s an idiot.
A few however one for example would be the United States of America (it's pretty big, you may have heard of it), various states/cities have outlawed "Chinese virus", "Kung Fu Virus", etc. Ted Cruz was especially annoyed about it lol.
Bit of advice, if you're gonna ask people to explain something for you then flame when they don't, it's customary to wait an appropriate time (a few hours is normally good in case they're working or sleeping since making the post you quoted), moaning that your question is ignored in the same post you ask the question is asinine.
Stated, past tense, they also stated there was evidence that vaccines could cause autism, before that evidence was debunked and they stopped reporting it, just like they stopped using "Wuhan Coronavirus" after COVID-19 became the official term and the Wuhan/Chinese terms became taboo.

Fair point.
Except that the Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain at all. So calling it that really doesn't make sense.
You do realise you can embed tweets so they actually show in the post??
You click the media tag? Then paste the link.
