Kaffir Lily is an offensive name
Reading the above, the only conclusion I've managed to reach is that anyone
offended by any name must have a severe inferiority complex. Others seem to imply "Complex be damned"!! As a long serving member of the RWAFF [Royal West African Frontier Force] on the Gold Coast,[now Ghana] I accumulated numerous derogatory names, many quite true, but none that could possibly have annoyed or offended me in any way. I cannot even think of any term I would find offensive, true or not!! Calling me an 'organic gardener' might imply some degree of unmerited ignorance however.

The Middle East and Central/Eastern Europe are more my territory for unusual ethnic names (Quick: where can you find a Rusyn? Not a Russian, a Rusyn. zemedelec |
