Dictionary.com doesn't say its racist.

Everyone grab your pitch forks and torches and lets go burn down apple! That'll teach 'em for not having that there word book right!

I can find at least 3 plants off the top of my head where i work which bear the name 'xxxxxxx niger'. If someone wants to get offended because it is similar to nigger fine, but someone should warn niger (what the BBC now refers to as 'nee-jair', what was wrong with 'ni-ger?), or the taxinomists. I'm just gonna think of you as an idiot.
