The citationable things come later because a student decided to write a paper for their race studies class, which is just as meta as us just telling you what our experience is.
These things aren't science, but maybe someone can articulate it better for you.
If I am refer to "British variant", no person is thinking I am racist against Englishmen. If I am refer to "Chinese virus", every person is thinking I am racist against Chinamen. But it is not "Asian coronavirus", that would be having more credible potential for racism. Persons who are using term in racist way are symptom, not problem: even while we are seeing use of alternate terms in all places, there still has been in past year increasing of hate crime against Asian. Neither terming has problem, British nor Chinese. It is a simple easy. Common man is not having any desire for to remember scientific names for any thing. And in last point, some persons are say that it create stigma against China: this is feature, not bug. China is deserving much fault for her failings in this manner.
