‘Jurassic World’ Facing Boycott Over ‘Racist’ Dinosaur Name?


People have definitely become more aware of the words being used to describe other cultures, and at least a handful of them are taking issue with a dinosaur introduced in the record-breaking film Jurassic World.

The dinosaur in question: the Pachycephalosaurus (pak-ee-SEF-uh-lo-SAWR-us).

The problem: when shortened to “pachy,” the animal sounds too much like an offensive slur used in the U.K. to refer to people from Pakistan

I think it went too far ages ago.

Oh well.

Ancient, basic political strategy out of the tyrant's field manual.
See to it, that the slaves do not own a functioning language.
As old as geographically static society.

Up to the point of modern Swedistan, where you can no longer
