    Named because it’s black and ear-shaped. This is not the smoking gun.

    It’s “Judas Iscariot” but the “escariot” made me think “Judas Escargot.”

  Don't the traditionally racist depictions of Jews also include large ears?

    There’s a whole myth thing about the wandering jew that pops up a lot in media…

    But “inch plant” is the preferred nomenclature for tradescandia.

    I think so. But these are two different species, one is a flower the other is a mushroom

      mushrooms are flowers

        Fungi aren’t flowers in the same way that human beings aren’t flowers.

  Never understood why Wandering Jew would be problematic as it’s simply a myth. Anyone tell me what I’m missing?

    Swede (not the vegetable) here. People with a victim complex will often take any reference to themselves that aren’t universal praise, as an attack/insult. Goes double for weird ethnocults.

      “People with a victim complex”

      Gee…I can’t imagine why Jewish people might feel put upon. Thank God we have a Swede who really understands oppression who isn’t afraid to stand up for naming plants after racist caricatures.

    It’s a myth that has been used by antisemites, culminating in use in the Nazi regime to Other the Jews (including an art exhibit and propaganda film). There have been plenty of calls from the Jewish community to get rid of the name.
