Swede (not the vegetable) here. People with a victim complex will often take any reference to themselves that aren’t universal praise, as an attack/insult. Goes double for weird ethnocults.
Gee…I can’t imagine why Jewish people might feel put upon. Thank God we have a Swede who really understands oppression who isn’t afraid to stand up for naming plants after racist caricatures.
Never understood why Wandering Jew would be problematic as it’s simply a myth. Anyone tell me what I’m missing?
It’s a myth that has been used by antisemites, culminating in use in the Nazi regime to Other the Jews (including an art exhibit and propaganda film). There have been plenty of calls from the Jewish community to get rid of the name.
Thanks!
