The Bee provides a helpful list of non-racist terminologies to replace racist terms that unthoughtful (at least nominally racist) racist people keep using.
Please stop.
PSA: Stop Using Racist Terminology

With the rise of the novel coronavirus, there has been an uptick in people saying racist things like suggesting the virus came from the region it did in fact come from. So we're encouraging our readers to avoid problematic terms like "Wuhan virus," "Chinese coronavirus," "Kung Flu," "Black Pepper Death," "Chopsick," "Srirachoo," "Terracougha Army," or the "Great Whoop of China." Definitely don't use any of those. And certainly never name a disease, product, or cultural trend after the area it's from.
Instead, use our handy guide to avoid problematic, racist language:
Instead of Say:

Black death Death of colour
Indian giver Elizabeth Warren
Canadian bacon Geopolitically irrelevant, inferior bacon
Mexican jumping beans Latinx acrobatic moth larvae
Chinese dictator Austere totalitarian scholar
Japanese cartoons It's called Anime and it's totally normal for adults to watch, mum!
