News Botanists vote to remove racist reference from plants’ scientific names

[WorthlessSlavicShit]

The effect of the vote will be that all plants, fungi and algae names that contain the word caffra, which originates in insults made against Black people, will be replaced by the word affra to denote their African origins. More than 200 species will be affected, including the coast coral tree, which, from 2026, will be known as Erythrina affra instead of Erythrina caffra.

OK.

They always gotta mess around with stuff. Even a syrup brand that was named with a black name around here was changed to a milling name. Funnily enough, there is a brand of beans around here that says on the inside of the can "pure white lining" lmao. It's funny the blacks haven't complained about that yet

Lol, you know about it. I also loved the Aunt Jemima design. It's Pearl Milling Company or something now and doesn't have the nostalgic ring to it Aunt Jemima did

Aunt Jemima syrup was not natural. It was an unhealthy American product made primarily of high fructose corn syrup from GMO corn with maple flavoring and coloring.

If someone wants to be healthy and eat natural, they can only consume natural syrup from maple trees.
