I really don't like how "the scumbag left" (mostly comfortably wealthy white American podcasters) have decided it's funny and cool to be racist to Italians. Racism isn't very fucking leftist!
'Red' comes up a lot in apple varieties, from Red Delicious, Red Jersey, Red Alkmene, Red Astrachan, Red Baron, Red Devil, Red Gold, Red Prince, Red Streak... Would not shock me that there's one that's just 'Red'
The original poster made no joke. In the first pic Falcone and Borsellino, two Italian Judges killed with bombs in the 90', this photo is one the symbols for the "lotta alla mafia" (fight against mafia). In the other photo, some victims of mafia during the years, car bombings of the judges above and a paper with an article on a journalist killed. In Italy the argument "mafia" is no laughing matter, the pain and suffering that it has caused is still strong in the minds of many Italians.
Seems to me, it’s kinda shitty to joke about that when the other person isn’t joking. Actual organized crime is no joke. Lots of lives get ruined because of it.
One person thinks it's a serious topic, the other thinks has a different perspective and makes jokes about the mafia. The original poster then posts a bunch of tragedies from the actions of the mafia and then the other poster then makes an even absurder joke about it
"Don't feed the trolls" really needs to work it's way back into the internet curriculum. Too many people feel like they have to respond to every little dumb thing that comes their way.
Evidence actually holds that we named the color after the fruit. In the english-languages (old english, etc) the word was "ruegelb" or something like that, which meant reddish gold
So for all that time, there was no name for that color? Just some vague combination of other colors? When people drew a rainbow, they would say "red, blue, yellow, green, violet, indigo, and then that other color, whatchamacallit, reddish-golden-yellow thing"? That sounds like bullshit.
Think about it - there aren't a lot of naturally occurring orange things in the British isles. They wouldn't have really needed to differentiate it from shades of red or yellow until one day a trader brings a vibrant, distinctly orange fruit to the market. We're talking about the middle ages here.
In addition to the other comments: there are millions of colors without a separate name. Or when was the last time you saw a rainbow with hard lines between the colors? Color is a spectrum, and bits of it only get a name where it's culturally relevant enough to get one. And even then it's ill defined.
Old West Norse had terms for blue, yellow, gray, green, white, red, and black, and the term used for yellow may also have included pink, orange and brown. Gold was described as "red", "golden red", because it was a warm hue. They did have a specific term for "brown", but it only referred to horses of that color (so using it for anything else would basically be calling that "horse colored"), and they seem to have had a specific word for blonde hair color. Plus some other stuff like that.

They're not berries either. Technically they're accessory fruit, due to the seeds being on the outside.

Depends on your definition of a straw, water moves through a plant through a system of really thin tubes.

Redcurrants, whitecurrants, oranges, greengages, apricots (although the colour may be named after the fruit with that one).
Hoiloidl
The colour orange is also named after the fruit
scooteristno8
That's probably true, but oddly enough 'an orange' used to be 'a norange'. It was us lazy English that moved it from norange to orange.
Hoiloidl
More trivia every day, I love my life. Thanks! Still, nothing would rhime with norange too.

Lazy Italians, according to etymonline. It already entered the English language as orange.

Hear me out here: RED APPLES

Which are a subcategory of apples, I feel getting into strains or sub-species are kinda missing the point.

I meant it as a joke actually, but mostly because I don't think "red apple" is even a sub-species like Fuji, Kranz or whatever

You are correct. And violet is named for the flower. But they seem to have completely forgotten about blackberries, so it all evens out.

Oranges aren't named after the colour, the colour is named after the orange.

There are plenty of languages which don't have separate words for blue and green.

I've read so many books that say blue-green when I personally know ones like aquamarine, this suddenly makes sense

Yea. Lots of languages still lack certain color words and there is an order color words get added to a language and orange is pretty low down.
