Re: Would a little Jemima be teased terribly in the U.S.?
I love it when people say "People who tease are ignorant, just ignore them." Those words are *never* spoken by somebody who is actually being teased.We're not talking about just a funny name here. Jemima may have a Biblical origin, but unfortunately it has acquired racial connotations that are quite serious and that many people, black white and otherwise, feel very strongly about.
