I came up with a good compromise on nomenclature that I have been spreading (pun intended).  (BTW I'm 15/16 genetically Han Chinese).  I've been calling it the Gong Fei Virus.  Gong Fei is a slur that families on our losing side of the Chinese Civil War used to refer to the Communist Chinese.  It literally means "Communist Bandit". It's more insulting than its literal translation.

This works because when you explain it, people learn who is actually responsible and distinguishes various ethnic Chinese and other Asian people from those that are culpable.
