Riddle me this. Why is saying China Virus racist yet Spanish Flu is not?

Because we have scientific naming conventions now. By today's standards calling it the Spanish flu is just as bad as calling it the China virus. But people like you got their way and the term Spanish flu stuck in tradition. Now it is happening again and instead of going with the scientific and neutral term you want it to be racially charged for scapegoating purposes because humans always want to blame someone when something bad happens. After all if you can demonize a people you can attack them. But it's harder to demonize and attack nature cause it is alot bigger than you. Humans are cowards and pick the fights they think they win.
