I don't quite see how "monkey pox" could be racist, unless we are admitting there is some connection between niggers and monkeys. Is the word "monkey" somehow racist now? Because if it is, we're going to need a new term for those cute little simians swinging from the trees. Maybe call them "tree-swingers" -- or is that racist, also? Funny how any word that even remotely gets connected with niggers somehow becomes a term of disgust and derision, isn't it? Seems to be some kind of dynamic going on there.
