[Opinions] Re: Jemima
in reply to a message by noisynora
It's rascist and I don't think that you should say things like that on a public messaging forum. It's degrading to people of color and it is degrading to yourself, because it shows ignorance about societal conditions that one ought to just understand.

Choose one posting name and stick to it please.
ok
Dude this "public messaging forum" is about discussing given names. Jemima is a given name, it is entirely valid to discuss this name on these forums regardless of what negative connotations it may have.
This extends to the actual slur-word-used-as-a-name "Gypsy" and the name-with-one-of-the-most-unfortunate-associations-in-history Adolf. Both are valid for public discussion. This isn't a primary school, we're allowed to discuss topics as adults on a messaging form geared towards other adults.
Your feelings towards the name are valid, but please don't police discussion by way of demanding it to never be discussed. Thank you.
