Horse owner is forced to change filly's name from 'Jungle Bunny' to 'Jungle Bells' amid racism storm - despite it being named after his grandson's favourite video game

• The horse ran on Saturday at Wolverhampton Racecourse at 50-1 odds
• It finished sixth but prompted a storm of criticism over its name
• Owner's wife said it had been given the moniker after game Jungle Bunny Run

[WTFH]

"Storm of criticism" or "Daily Mail triggered"?

So why wasn't the horse called that then?

Anyway, tomorrow the grandson who supposedly owns that game will be quoted as saying they've never heard of it and their favourite game is Minecraft

That was my cynical take on it.

I usually hate the PC brigade coming in making a massive issue out of absolutely nothing.... but....Unfortuantely in this instance there could be a case. There is no doubt Jungle Bunny is a racial slur so people have to be careful using it, even if it could be related to a game in this case. I think this situation has a little more to it than the liberals whining over nothing sadly.

The guy made an innocent error and hopefully will have the chance to hold his hands up and change the name before he get's branded a racist and starts receiving death threats. BIDI.

Anyone who doesn't know that Jungle Bunny is a racist term for someone from Africa is either
1. Charmingly naive,
2. Lying
or
3. A moron.
