Navajo code-talkers in WW2 used the same word.
Also America was “Our Mother” and South America was “South Our Mother”
Also don’t look up “Africa” or “Japan” in the code-talker lexicon. Or do, I’m a shitposter, not a cop.

Okay, I jsut gotta ask. How racist is it?
Exactly as racist as you’d think. Which really hows how confident they were in the Navajo language as the first layer of the cipher. Once decoded a lot of it is very obvious.
According to this dictionary, “Africa” was “blackies” and “Japan” was “slant eye”.
I expected so much worse
Still pretty bad though
I mean, it makes more sense than “pickle”
Is there not an ncd_egg_irl community out there somewhere? Seems like this would be perfect for it.
I feel like that would be wayy too niche
I dunno. It was a pretty common joke over on the NCD subreddit that half the folks there were either trans or furries (and that’s not an exclusive or)
Well… fair. I’m in that statistic, in any case
But I would prefer a more inclusive, active main community than a lot of sectarian smaller ones. And so far we seem to be doing great
Oh yeah I definitely agree, I was mostly just joking. NCD is practically already ncd_egg_irl 😀
Hello (not) Chelsea Manning
Edit: also divisive. You don’t need a special place. You’re welcome, its fine here, don’t split niche communities. Thank you for attending my ted talk.
