Calif_Sue said:Yes Lyn, as the article I linked above said, the name's origin "suggests that the name’s roots lie closer to the original Arabic meaning of kafir than to the 20th-century racial slur".

Because of this I'm very hesitant to remove a name from the database.

Unless the name can be shown to have no other meaning and that the plant in question was named specifically as a slur, then I don't want to remove it from the database for all the good reasons mentioned above.
