Muhlenberg College in Allentown. Ugh. I used to work parties and dances for them. They are generally an insufferable group of emotionally-stunted drunks. Breaking up fights over Facebook posts and other stupidity. Even attendees at ghetto class parties behave much better.

What about Woodpeckers, isn’t that term offensive ? [\S]

I’d love to see some species of bird named after Pinochet, but that’ll probably never happen.

Sounds as if they’ve outlived whatever usefulness they may have had.

You mean the Nathan Bedford Forrest Cross-burning Songbird might be racist?

Any bird that a white person named is racist and should be exterminated!

I was talking to a couple of staff members at Cornell’s Ornithology Lab earlier this year. One told me there is not unanimity in these recommendations at the Lab. But the word was informally communicated that open dissent would not bode well for careers.

What's the word? Thunderbird! What's the price? Thirty twice! Don't forget the third line of that radio ad:
What's the action? Satisfaction!
And a fourth line was added by ironical radio listeners in the section of Virginia I was visiting. Let's just say it quite accurately and gently identified the main consumers of Thunderbird wine.

"Baltimore oriole"
Another team has to change their name.
The answer to this is just say no but cowards afraid of being called names acquiesce to the mob.
To: Fiji Hill
The Baltimore Oriole is on the list, so the baseball team will have to be renamed. And the city.

Oh good grief! Townsend's Warbler is named after early ornithologist John Kirk Townsend.
His family were anti-slavery activists, so no problem there.
Nope. His great sin was that while he was collecting a boatload of newly-discovered birds & mammals on an 1830s expedition to the Northwest, he robbed a skull from a grave of a Chinook Indian to give to a friend of his back East who collected & analyzed skulls of different races.
And that's it!!!
