Haven't watched the video yet, but when I found out the American traditional version of Eeny Meeny Miny Moe I was horrified.

    I was horrified when I learned what "tiger" used to be in that nursery rhyme.

    It was the n-word instead of "tiger".

    Presumably the US/English speaking countries.

    Which occured after the rhyme already existed and was really just America. Love it when Americans project their racial issues to the whole human species....

    Ok. That doesn't erase the history of the nursery rhyme. Ms Rachel is an American.
