Vox video explains in detail 'why the story of the poinsettia is a troubling one'

This video from Vox reminds us of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explaining in 2019 why community gardens fail — it’s because we look at them through a “colonial lens.” While everyone is encouraging minority communities to start community gardens and grow their own fresh food, white folks go and colonialize the whole thing by planting cauliflower instead of yucca.

Now Vox goes in depth (we’ll admit we didn’t make it through the whole video) of why “people” are rejecting the name poinsettia in favor of the plant’s native name, cuetlaxochitl. We suspect it’s even fewer people than are trying to push the word Latinx. Anyway, it’s all tied into white colonialism and the Trail of Tears.

“Why the story of the poinsettia is a troubling one.”

But it was a cisgender white man, thus erasing the plant’s cultural roots. Really, it’s amazing that they went to this length to produce a video that no one is going to watch.
