In a racial reckoning that shook the field of ornithology, the activists, most of them White, argued that the names of some birds were offensive to people of color.
I’m offended that people of color were not offended previously!
Film at 11!

Whole state and federal laws might have to be modified as they list birds that might have these “racist” names. I expect there might be delays and push back as the governments might not be in a hurry to have whole laws changed and rewritten just for woke purposes!

Was Lord Baltimore some kind of a racist or sexist He was a White Christian Man ...
What we're seeing here is Ethnic Cleansing, a precursor to Genocide.
Have no doubt about it: the goal of anti-White rhetoric, the purpose of "diversity, inclusion, and equity", is the extermination of White people. The DIE crowd intends to KILL YOU.
Plan accordingly.

AOS President Colleen Handel, Ph.D. ... AOS Executive Director and CEO Judith Scarl, Ph.D. These aren't stupid people. They're EVIL people dedicated to the extermination of White people. The most appalling part is that they themselves are White.
I'm tempted to suggest that allowing women to assume positions of power and authority is just a bad idea ...

John Audubon owned slaves. Maybe the American Ornithological Society (named after colonizer Amerigo Vespucci, ultimately) is out to get them.

"...some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be exclusionary and harmful today..." There is no such continuance. Those names, whatever they may be, were never considered "exclusionary and harmful" in the past. You made that sh!t up just last week.

The Titmouse must be renamed because it makes reference to mouse tits which as we know are very very small. This name is offensive and humiliating to many small-breasted women.
To: Altura Ct.
I hope people keep a record of the real names after we throw these knot heads out of the country so we can change the names back.
