At least in the US, the COVID naming thing was most definitely a political issue. Trump called it the "CHINA-virus" not as a neutral country-of-origin differentiator, but specifically to lay blame on China and to deflect responsibility inside the US for dealing with the disease. I think it was more than appropriate to push back on that term, which was promoted only to redirect outrage away from the Administration.

Everyone has their line, though. Not knowing anything about you, I will wager there is some language you were maybe OK with 20 years ago, which you're not cool with today?
