Goodness no, referring to somebody as Prussian would be prejudicial and racist because it suggests they are a different color..... blue.

So I googled Prussian Blue and wondered why there were so many sites. It's also the name of that Nazi girl child band. :ymca: (sort of looks like a nazi smilie)

Maybe those teachers saw this coming, and didn't want Nazi crayons. Sad, it's such a pretty color, too.

Prussian Blue is a beautiful breed of cat. Actually, they have a thick grey undercoat, and the tiny white tips on the surface give them a bluish hue.

I think that's a Russian Blue. I had a cat that looked like he might have some of the RB in him.

Prussian blue is a commonly used color in oil painting. It is actually my favorite blue, because of its richness. That saddens me to think they changed the name of the crayon, oddly enough.

Prejudicial? I don't think so, and I'm of Prussian descent. Heck, blue is just what I am. Wait, that's just true of my bollocks. :D

In fact, I named him Gainesborough Thomas (took liberties with the spelling of Gainsborough) because he was a "blue boy" like the painting.
