What are your thoughts on this news headline from the Province? Personally, I have not been a target of racist attacks as a Canadian Born Chinese, born and raised in Vancouver, during this corona virus outbreak.
The lady that is mentioned in the article, Linda Hao, does make a good point. H1N1 was not labelled the "American virus". Zika was not labelled in the media as the "Brazil virus". Then the Province rag puts out a headline "China Virus" to describe Corona virus.
This sounds to me as an outright attack and bullying by the Province paper against the Chinese community in Vancouver and in other cities around the world.

LOOOOOLL
There's a petition now. I mean, I get it, they shouldn't have called it a "CHINA VIRUS"... but pls.
This is so "gen snowflake" to be blowing it out of proportion.
I don't really understand what this petition is supposed to do. And just how many times have this virus been referred to as "China Virus"? Cause the petition makes it sound like that's the term being used everywhere.
