      like "yellow bellied sapsucker" (a woodpecker) is racist - to asians.

      and

      Scarlet Tanager

      Scientific name: Piranga olivacea. A brilliantly colored bird of large eastern forests the Scarlet Tanager is most often heard rather than seen despite its showy appearance.

      ......offensive to women who like "Gone With the Wind".....

          and..

          Red-necked grebe - Wikipedia

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-necked_grebe

          The red-necked grebe (Podiceps grisegena) is a migratory aquatic bird found in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Its wintering habitat is largely restricted to calm waters just beyond the waves around ocean coasts, although some birds may winter on large lakes.

          I'm so freakin outraged and offended. All country folks are.

            Indeed.

            I've always stayed awake at night thinking of killer whales.  Are they white?  Are they black?  Who gets the stigma?
