Girl Guides of Canada changing the name "Brownies" (ages 7-8) because they "heard from racialized girls that this name has caused them harm" & they can't harm little girls...unless they're unvaccinated (twitter.com)

It says a lot that the people who run this organization now care more about “optics” and current race politics than they do about context and the origin of words (especially why those words exist in context)…

In Australia, this word generally only refers to the cake slice (chocolate brownie, vs a “blondie”, which is the much less common non-chocolate variant), outside of a Scouts/Guides context…

No one has ever indicated it is “racist”, here (unlike, say, golliwogs, which the left declared war on). Ever. So this is… Truly bizarre, to me…
