There was a star trek channel on youtube which got suspended because he called the fictional race Ferengi “greedy”, which they actually are. Got reinstated after a few days. But it’s getting ridiculous now.

I wonder how The Onion gets away with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4PC8Luqiws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4PC8Luqiws where they suggest visualizing your money related stress as a greedy hook-nosed race of creatures who want to grabble up all your money - and only hire their own kind.

Ferengi looks the same as فرنگی if 'g' sounds as in 'girl'. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%86%DA%AF%DB%8C https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%86%DA%AF%DB%8... "A foreigner, especially a British or a white person." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/firangi https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/firangi

  Huh, the Thai ฝรั่ง ("farang", meaning Guava but also used to refer to white people) is also kinda similar. Looks like it has similar etymology and is not just based on the color of the fruit flesh.
