Yup, that was the point of the joke;
If there is some other meaning than that I am more than happy to admit my ignorance of it.
They are also known as Bertholletia excelsa.

Brazil nuts? What an odd reference to bring up, in a conversation talking about people.... oh wait, NOW I get why that reference was used.... doh. Though I'm sure most of the rest of the membership, and mods, are blissfully ignorant.
He and Alpo are totally correct. I recall hearing it in Detroit. It was fairly common. It's a stupid reference and concept (like most racially biased things). I think it was more an ignorant reference than intended as a slur, but totally out of bounds for , oh 30/40 years. I remember having to correct recent eastern European family members that despite the fact "" an American" taught them this, it wasn't cool.
After re-reading it I am sure that the statement in this thread was not related to the slur, but it's not like Kut made this up. That unfortunate name was used. And by people who would never see themselves as "racist" or even disliking the folks the slur was related to. So, being I heard it in the Midwest, I am surprised no one in IN has....(I am being vague as to not give away the term to those not familiar with it. It does NOT need repeating)

WTF? It was a conversation about hyphenated Americans, and Irish car bombs. You whine about people attacking you, instead of your argument. Allow me to say, your argument is without any merit, and completely out of line. But you already know this. You admitted this in what I just quoted. Blissfully ignorant, or you're going to go so far out on a limb, and make this about race? What a ****ing joke!
”questionable”
nothing of the sort
I guess Oakriver was just unlucky the example he choose.
No, he had absolutely nothing to do with this current descent into stupidity.
He probably should have used one of the examples from his area of origin, Europe, rather than go all the way to South America
I for one am glad to have you here to bless what speech is permitted by your definition of reality.

I just mentioned boobies and no one said anything.

Trump is so lucky. The women of Paris love him so much they are chasing his limo topless and trying to put their boobies on him.
I want to be President
I heard the nut term growing up in the south.My family do eat alot of nuts thru out the year.I have not heard the term in at least 30 years,but did hear it a few years ago,and it was said by a black friend who we we're in a conversation on the best and worst tasting nuts.We agreed that Pecans are the best tasting nut.
The thread is getting seriously off track here fellas.
And yes, I vote for boobies, and Wild Turkies, and CZ 17 HM2's, and pecans, and ... more boobies !
I could be on a fool's errand trying to reason with you and explain this, but I'm still going to try.Like I said earlier, perhaps he was ignorant of its other "name." Me, I'm wary of coincidences... especially when followed by a emoji. And let's be honest, there are a enough random victimhood posts about "Well, he's male and white," that I find your opposition to anything I say laughable, at best, hypocritical at worst.
