Chinese Student Say "Chinese virus" Harms the World Peace, Professor Gets Suspended.
A Chinese international student at the University of Cincinnati says he was hurt when a professor on campus used the racist term "Chinese Virus" to describe COVID-19, and that it would give Chinese people a poor impression which would harm friendly exchanges and peace around the world.
China concealed the epidemic and eventually led to a global spread of the virus, with the United States leading the list of countries with the highest number of confirmed cases and deaths. An Engineering Professor at the University of Cincinnati, John Ucker, delivered an email to a student earlier, stating that He would not give a score to students who are diagnosed with the "Chinese virus". The student's classmate posted the screenshot of the email on Twitter with 34,000 retweets and 166,000 likes. Comments on the post were polarized - calls for the school to take action on Ucker, and showing support for the use of the wording in question.
