well no kidding I was on facebook one day a woman posted a photo of what she called "Russian Lettuce" or something like that, and the commenters about lost their ever loving minds going full on hate on the lady saying she should be calling it 'Ukrainian Lettuce" Rolling my eyes. Apparently Russian Dressing is a no no, or Russian Sage in the garden, or how about eating Beef Stroganoff -is that a no no now? I guess if you adopted kids from Russia, maybe you should throw them away and start over w another country... nodding None of it made any sense. I was like well many things come from Russia and have that in their name, I don't think we have to rename everything or that we get cooties if we touch it. Rolling my eyes. I remember after 9/11 people doing stuff like this, Freedom Fries instead of French Fries and the like.....
