If I wanted to be insulting I'd compare your posts here to the real meaning of Wu Wei @Wu Wei which the internet tells me includes unplugging from all the technology pulling at your attention

Read the article.

Read the article.

You should.
"Vasan referenced the "painful and racist history within which
terminology like (monkeypox) is rooted for communities of color."

I don't think it's racist. True, the word "monkey" has sometimes been used as a racial slur, but I don't think that's the case here.

On the other hand, they could come up with another name for it. Even if the medical community doesn't mean any harm, it doesn't mean that others won't misuse the term. It does have some underlying connotations which could be problematic.
