My mom tried talking to me finally two days ago after canceling me for close to a year. Towards the end she goes off on me for calling it the "China Virus" and tries to lecture me on how "hateful" it is. I said it came from China, I'm not going to pretend it didn't, and that's what it was called in the beginning alongside Wuhan Virus. I'm not going to change it. She got super upset and basically went silent, then chose to change the subject to something to do with a coworker she hates that won't follow the China Virus restrictions.
Frankly, my intent is to offend.
I'm at that point now too.

I'm not bowing to their crap. Any of it.
