Reply to comment by BooRand in In honor of ice cream places opening soon do you call them “Jimmies” or “Sprinkles”? by IamMikey1

If you don’t feel comfortable saying it, you do you, but there no evidence Jimmies is a racial thing in this context. Not dismissing Jim Crow one bit, but no one has been able to make a connection to the chocolate sprinkles.

Closest I've seen is they nicknamed them after some dude who ran the sprinkle machine lol

But at the end of the day, I don't give a shit what people call sprinkles and I can get how people could take it the wrong way (especially today).

I can get why people could roll their eyes, but it's a weird hill to die on.
