The World Health Organization is holding an open forum to rename the disease monkeypox, after some critics raised concerns the name could be derogatory or have racist connotations
quote:And this is a ABC News article. LINK
Numerous other diseases, including Japanese encephalitis, Marburg virus, Spanish influenza and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome have been named after the geographic areas where they first arose or were identified. WHO has not publicly suggested changing any of those names.

Why would that have any racial overtones? Unless one is incredibly racist

I forgot to give context to the second quoted portion
quote:
In a statement Friday, the U.N. health agency said it has also renamed two families, or clades, of the virus, using Roman numerals instead of geographic areas, to avoid stigmatization. The version of the disease formerly known as the Congo Basin will now be known as Clade one or I and the West Africa clade will be known as Clade two or II.

Donkeypox would be good. Some are already calling it that anyway. It's not a big change and no one can claim there are racist connotations.

I know the real reason of how monkeypox started and it didn’t start here. Didn’t start in Europe also.
