      We were just talking about this (at work). I never considered my parents racist, but I definitely heard Brazil nuts called that, it’s uncomfortable to think about how pervasive systemic racism is.

        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.
