The flava:When University of Cincinnati (UC) international Chinese student Keyun Tian saw that a UC professor had used a racist term in an email, he was deeply hurt by the term, “Chinese virus,” used to describe COVID-19.
Earlier this month, a student had posted a screenshot of an screenshot to Twitter, showing an email from UC engineering professor John Ucker that read, “For students testing positive for the Chinese virus, I will give no grade.”
Unfortunately, the term has circulated since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, it has hit too close to home for students like Tian at UC. Tian felt disrespected as an international student in the UC community.
