UC Tells Students ‘Do Not’ Say ‘Chinese Virus' And 'Do Not Allow' Others To Say It Either

• The University of California system has issued a set of guidelines directing students and employees how to speak about the coronavirus from Wuhan, China.
• The document directly tells students what names they should use for the virus.
• One student responded by pointing out that “The Chinese government has actively contributed to the spread of this deadly virus."

The Council of Chief Diversity Officers at the University of California released a “guidance document” to announce “supportive positive and inclusive campus climates during the COVID-19 crisis.”

The list begins by telling students to “reject racism, sexism, xenophobia and all hateful or intolerant speech, both in person and online,” and to “Be an ‘up-stander,’ and discourage others from engaging in such behavior.”

“Do not use terms such as ‘Chinese Virus’ or other terms which cast either intentional or unintentional projections of hatred toward Asian communities, and do not allow the use of these terms by others,” the university tells students and faculty, insisting that all members of the campus community refer to the virus as only “COVID-19” OR “coronavirus” in all “oral and written communications.”

Officials from all UC campuses signed the guidance document, which functions as an instruction sheet for all faculty, students, and staff.

"While certain concerns of bigotry directed towards persons of Asian descent might be warranted, this UC policy implicitly attributes a malicious motive to those who refer to the coronavirus as the ‘Chinese virus’ and that is laughable,” External VP of the UC Berkeley College Republicans Rudra Reddy told Campus Reform.

“The Chinese government has actively contributed to the spread of this deadly virus by obscuring information about the outbreak and spreading devious rumors trying to assign blame to the American military,” Reddy added.

"This pandering to the CCP is an attack on the mission and values of the University.”

It’s racist to call Chopstick Fever the Chinese Flu. Food isn’t racist. Remember TACOS.

[BarbM]

I’m running with scissors and calling it the WUHAN flu.

Americans demand to know WHAT was the role
of UC in the treason regarding this weaponized virus.

How many UC profs were, and ARE, on the PRC payroll?

Why are these guys still up and operating. This is certainly a non-essential service. Fire them all. There are far more urgent needs for the taxpayer's dollars.

In fact, investigate and indict as co-conspirators in the CCP raping of American intellectual property.

I think I found the problem, Jim.

Three weeks ago I sent an email to my team telling them about the worldometer site. I titled it “ChinaVirus useful statistics site.”

I was almost fired for that.

I was thinking about retiring this year in January and thoght about holding off a few months to get my house paid off. I was tempted to just quit early over it, but decided to just wait it out. I’m a contractor and figure I’ll be furloughed anyway by the time this month is out. We’re all working from home and so I’m just “milking” the cash cow for all it’s worth until that day comes.

If we can’t say “Chinese Virus”, then is it OK to say “ChiCom Bio-weapon Virus?”

[FreedomPoster]

I prefer Xi Jinping Chinese Communist Party Virus and Flu.

[Batman11]

I call it the Chinese Kung Flu to everyone I speak to. If I “offend” them, great! TFB!!

[AppyPappy]

China Virus is not a good term for it because there will probably be lots of them

[Leaning Right]

Well, it really shouldn’t be called the Chinese virus. It should be called the ChiCom virus.

You need to understand the “Big Education” cycle.

1) make unlimited loans to students
2) raise tuition and costs to absorb the money
3) pay the money to staff and administrators
4) staff and administrators donate to Democrats

and repeat

Yup. j Just what we need. The same political correctness and pandering that led DeBllasio to send hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to the Chinatown Chinese New Year parades that led to New York being the epicenter of coronaviru in America, is rearing it's ugly head at the university campuses again.
Pathetic. Don't these losers have anything to think about?
