Presumably this isnt his only donation, and they worry if they tell him no on this he'll stop donating to them. Plus the dude is 97 and they dont want him getting pissed off and changing his will.

Looking at the imbedded tweet: Well Cotton Row could be seen as in bad taste, but it's not the worst thing I've heard of. I guess if the execs weren't paying too close attention it could slip through...

Clicking through to Twitter: Oh my god. Oh my god they knew exactly what they were doing.

I didn't expand the tweet and thought, "a place called Cotton Row? That's not that bad". Then I clicked through and saw that the development is called Plantation Wharf.

Looks like it's mostly commercial properties, with a little bit of residential mixed in.

It's called Plantation Wharf with a section called Cotton Row. I wonder who they're going to force to live in that section.

You know a “square rig” is a normal nautical term and a “rigger” is a name of a profession, right? Presumably this is by a wharf so it’s not completely out of line.

E. I mean, a square rigger can even refer to a ship that primarily uses square rigs, so likely the “square rigger” row is where those types of ships would be moored in the wharf.

Now explain why it's the only one named after a type of boat, jackass.

Edit: that's obv not a fair question but imo the coincidental nature of it sure is getting slimmer.

"Square Rigger" is a restaurant in Martha's Vineyard over here in the US, not that really matters.

Controversial opinion, but you'd have to pay ME $25 to eat some drat alfredo. :barf: It's one of my least favorite foods on this planet.

Buddy it's still racist to not realize what square rigger sounds like at your place also called plantation wharf on cotton way or whathaveyou. It isn't just a human mistake to let the implications go unrealized, to be blind to any of it including what the real ship sounds like in that context is prejudice. You don't have to be malicious to be prejudiced.

There's no bit. If someone on Twitter can look at a jpg of it and see that the main issue extends to the whole thing then why couldn't the committee that made it? Perhaps it's because they are too ignorant to get why it'd be offensive
