Would they call them the Cleveland Indians if they despised Indians? I don’t think so.
I've been asking that question ever since Stanford University dropped the name "Indians" in 1972. I believe the real reason behind the objection to these names is that since real "white racism" has all but vanished, liberals are looking for something to complain about.
I wonder if meat from a jewfish is halal?
There is no greater gesture of respect than having a piece of our geography named after someone or a group. Your grandfather apparently understood the need for respect of those deserving respect and those who sacrificed. The name will be passed on in perpetuity. Obviously a thoughtful man.
It still irritates me that Giffords and this still living Congress woman from AZ who did nothing gets a USN shipped named after her. Tens of thousands of those serving deserved it why she got it only because she had cronies and clout pushing for her. These Congress loser critter pols will now all be maneuvering and dealing to get their own ship.
The fish converted?
I would, but I named my pond after one of my dogs. Who liked the pond.
I don’t think there’s any question that the original name of the pond was meant to be derogatory. Which is no reason to erase history.
Oh, I made a few posts at Facebook tonight, sure....
There are fish in that Lake? I have a nephew coming back from Afghanistan who wants to fish.
I read the URL as Islam-i-claws - presumably the Islamic version of Santa Claus. I can imagine what kind of gifts he’d bring.
Rename the pond oy vey!
“There are no more Jew fish. They are called Monk fish.
Still tasty after all these years.”
In FloriDUH, the Jewfish is now called the Goliath Grouper.
Critters are like a divorce lawyer, in that they move into an area and suck up all the smaller fish (lobster go first, though). Think of a fishy slurp gun that weight a half ton or more. Sometimes much more.
Oh,in FloriDUH, Jewfish are protected. We can’t hook and fillet lawyers, either.
Forget where I was, actually I had no clue where I was, but saw one once. Big fish.
How saintly can this culture get?
