CORONAVIRUS: WHY SOUTH AFRICAN VARIANT?

ICHEOKU says where is the justification for identifying the new variant of the dread coronavirus disease as a South African variant when we were told that calling the coronavirus a Wuhan coronavirus is racist and that it will stigmatize Wuhan and Chinese people. Why is calling the new coronavirus a South African variant acceptable and not similarly frowned at since it can also stigmatize South Africa and its people. A matter made worse because the same variant of coronavirus has been found in two Americans in South Carolina, people who have never been to South Africa nor ever traveled outside America and the people don't even know themselves nor  ever met each other. 

If this new coronavirus is a South African variant, how then did it infect this two Americans in South Carolina? How did the South African variant transport from South Africa to infect this two fellas in South Carolina? Is it not possible that the new variant is just a new variant and that it did not specifically originate from South Africa. ICHEOKU says the proper name identification therefore should be a new coronavirus variant and not a South African variant.  The same standard of protection from stigmatization which was applied to Wuhan should also apply to South Africa because what is good for Wuhan China should also be good for South Africa.
