I am serious, I understood the story to mean the spoons where owned by somebody named
Jim Crow.
So they had Jim Crow embossed on the spoons because they were fans of the character?
Like a Knight Rider pen? -
I don't get it :
The Jim Crow persona is a theater character by Thomas D. Rice and a racist depiction of African-Americans and their culture. The character was based on a folk trickster named Jim Crow that had long been popular among enslaved Black people.
How would he have been in the Merchant Marine and owned those spoons?

I was watching a Youtube video about Japanese school lunches and it's impressive how they
are geared up. It's from 2018 so not connected to the current pandemic.

What are peoples thoughts on a program for reparations similar to what Germany did after the second World War?
Of course it's a very broad subject but I could imagine it starting with the most urgent cases first
like the Windrush scandal. The victims could receive extra pensions and if they are no longer alive that could be paid to the families. The families could also get easier ways to receive proper citizenship if needed.
There could be an independent institute with historians researching past injustice and compensations could be worked out based on their findings, be it for individuals or countries. -
But is she an anthropologist with valid field experience?
The only thing I knew about the Jim Crow laws that they were some racist laws in the US. So when I read the story I looked it up and expected to find somebody named Jim Crow who was in the Merchant Marine and then went into politics and the laws were named after him.
