    Same thing with “monkey bread”, though less overt and I’d argue in some ways more sinister

      Please explain how monkey bread is racist? I know calling people monkeys can be racist, but that has nothing to do with monkey bread or why it’s called that.

        It’s an odd name for bread anyway. It looks nothing like a monkey.

        I can sorta see “bear claws,” but it’s a stretch.

        We should really just let the French name all food products.
