Cancel culture coming for.....birds? (NRO Article)

quote:

Cancel culture is at it again, and this time, they’re coming after . . . birds? Look out, Bachman’s sparrow. Because you were named after a 19th-century Lutheran minister with connections to slavery, you might lose your name. Over 140 North American bird species have eponymous names, from Anna’s hummingbird to MacGillivray’s warbler, but some in the birding community, such as the recently founded Bird Names for Birds, are determined to see these types of names completely rooted out. How refreshing it is to know that because we’ve solved all of the world’s other pressing issues, the only thing we have left to fix is bird names that make people feel “unsafe.”

I have to say the same thing Kevin Hart says about cancel culture.. STFU.

I started a thread about it yesterday.

This shite is just getting to be stupid.

_____ has a problem with ______

Such a fun game!

"Ornithology has a problem with racism."

Go on...you try! Make a list of Targets on one side, and a group of Gripes on the other. then just mix and match and then Google what you make to find what is almost certain a shitty blog written by some idiot.

We should really start asking the birds what they want to be called instead of just assigning them names. How human-centric of us.

Bet they don't cancel basketball. The game was founded/invented by a white, christian male born in 1861.

That would be an example of the larry bird. Reportedly heard the word slavery used at least once. Change it.
