"The prevailing perception in the international media and scientific literature is that MPXV is endemic in people in some African countries. However, it is well established that nearly all MPXV outbreaks in Africa prior to the 2022 outbreak, have been the result of spillover from animals to humans and only rarely have there been reports of sustained human-to-human transmissions," the scientists wrote on June 10.

"In the context of the current global outbreak, continued reference to, and nomenclature of this virus being African is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatizing."

"Well... you know..."

"No, I don't. Please, enlighten us. What part of 'monkeypox' sounds racist to you? Say it nice and loud so everyone can hear you."

Lol, well luckily in this case I think the difference is negligible.

Maybe they could resolve this by changing the name of monkeys to fuzzyniggers, then the pox would automatically become fuzzyniggerpox.
