- maxerickson 10y agoIt has a Mexican name literally IN it. A conservative, white term would be Marijosepha. logicallee, I think you've misunderstood the point made in the gp post. Harry Anslinger wanted it to sound strange and foreign to white conservatives, not familiar.
- logicallee 10y agoI mean that it has Juan in the name (which I contrast with Joseph). So MariJUANa. Couldn't sound more Mexican if they tried.
