No, but I did find the term offensive.

I think it has a very nice ring to it.

I was coughing for half an hour last night because I inhaled crumbs of a peanut M&M I was eating. IT WAS NOT COVID-19! But if an M&M hits the floor, there's no 5 seconds rule anymore, it goes straight to the trash.

That was the point although not because I wanted to be offensive.

I was trying to demonstrate why calling it the Chinese flu or other similar names was offensive.



And we have made the point that some name are offensive and some are not even when they are the same thing.

He probably knows negative branding in business is usually a bad idea, but apparently not in people, cities or countries. Let him twist himself into a pretzel trying to explain why there would be any difference.
Quasimodo? Does that name ring a bell?

So it is offensive if it involves China but not Britain?

I am confused.

Are you saying you were being offensive when you said in the past it's okay to call it the China virus?

I'm confused.

Well, let me unconfuse you.

I am asking why management here said there would be a suspension for calling it "china virus" but seems fine with "british virus" or whatever part of Britain it is being named after. Are they not concerned a bunch of rednecks are going to attack some Brits they find, which was a reason given for the previous ban?
