I was interested to see his comments until the journalist

made it an op-ed article. I was also curious to see what the racist comments were which would be a big problem for me. But then the racist remark was apparently calling it the Chinese virus. Apparently because some in the media have dubbed that to be a racist remark, it has become racist. Funny, I just thought it was a lazy way to name something just based on geography and nothing to do with racism. Silly me.
