It will probably come to mind for folks whose families were affected violently by colonization.
That this wasn't brought up during the naming process paints a pretty clear picture of the team's demographic makeup.

- fab13n 9y agoTouché (and yes, I would also blend into that picture seamlessly).
- Chris2048 9y agoPerhaps it was brought up, and not deemed relevant? "come[s] to mind" != "triggered" Suggesting a team should alter its "demographic" ("diversity" hiring) for the sake of such a weak association is extreme.
- cvsh 9y agoHm, making the name of a brand you intend to market worldwide something deeply offensive to a huge swath of the world is a pretty poor decision. I'm not saying their hiring "should" be altered, but I do think were it more inclusive, this would have never flown. Maybe that speaks to the value a diverse team brings to an organization.
- Chris2048 9y agoI'm not convinced it is "deeply offensive to a huge swath of the world". Or that a diverse team would bring more value.
