Let’s just name everything Bob.

I think one of them is called Fred. Isn’t that a racist name?

My wife’s grandfather and grandmother were full blood and half Cherokee from Georgia, respectively. They lived on a reservation out in Oklahoma, I believe she said. Her response to all this Woke native tribalism is, “Talk to the hand.” It’s a fart in a hurricane to her, and she’s had a bellyful.

They should name a plant something like “Buckwheat.”
Oh, wait...

That doesn’t work for me. Those are ARABIC numbers and they trigger memories of 9-11.

I don’t think that the bird in question either knows or cares about what humans call it.

To nip all this ridiculous crap, it would be best to reassign all species an arbitrary number. This is the Borg identification system. This bird for example can be species 847-6224-42. Catchy, isn’t it. Math is hard.
Numbers are a racist way of keeping POC repressed.

Hampton ought to confront the Cherokee nation’s own sorted past. Cherokees kept slaves, sided with the Confederacy, did not free slaves until over a year after the Civil war, and refused tribal citizenship for freed slaves.

They should name a plant something like “Buckwheat.” When ground into flower it becomes doewheat, sometimes spelt doughwheat...

They’re just called “arabic” numbers. The arabs stole them from the Hindus.
