So, it would be racist to use the phrase “punched in the breadbasket?”.
Also, back to the racist theme: It would probably be more racist to note that Zimbabwe used to be known as “the breadbasket of Southern Africa” before Mugabe implemented his land reforms than to relate the fact that Florida supplied food during the Civil War, and hence was known as the “breadbasket of the South.”
No, if you punch the breadbasket you’re punching Florida. Which means you’re the Union army marching on with His truth and so forth.
California’s Central Valley was considered to be the “breadbasket” to the US before Nancy Pelosi and her minions cut off the water. Now it has a high unemployment rate and pan handlers standing in every median.
