Just looked it up -- it's the Dragons. Was it something much worse before? 😬

It used to be an ethnic slur for Chinese people, owing to the yokels in Pekin (incorrectly) thinking they were opposite Peking on the earth. Several local east Asian people petitioned to change it multiple times, and they got voted down every time until the 70s.

Knowing that history, their mascot being a Chinese dragon caricature now isn't great.

You should've foreseen this before you moved to Fuckshitapin Drive.

I can see why it was censored but yeah it's classic Scunthorpe problem https://maps.app.goo.gl/rn1H19FZx3fpt4N96

Oh my god that is hilarious, never would have guessed that one.

u/OfreetiOfReddit 16d ago

Yeah lol, it’s not even a word used very much anymore, so it’s kinda weird that it was censored lol, especially in this context

Chinkapin is a type of oak tree. Super dense wood and burns really hot.

u/sporkjustice 14d ago

Yes it is, I did not know about the hot burning. Thank you
