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

Nice try.

Snopes says, "No valid reason exists to suppose that 'jimmies' carries a racist meaning or had a racially-charged origin. However, it's difficult to definitively disprove the claim because the term's entry into the English language is downright murky."

But it's such fun to feel superior by making invented claims of racism.

Dang what did they say that made you feel so inferior? This is a common misconception.
