Vs a chain hotel that just has plantation in the name? I’d stay there

Seriously? I think it’s much weirder to name something “plantation” that never was a plantation. One is acknowledging the history of the site, the other is deliberately trying to capitalize on a racist institution.

The official name of Rhode Island is Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Will you not visit Rhode Island?

As for me, “plantation” is an archaic term that I connect with slavery (whether or not all plantations had slaves is irrelevant). As such, I would not purchase property in a subdivision that included the word.

At the same time, the word doesn’t make me feel “uncomfortable.”

Plantations are farms with a farmhouse.

Uh, no. In fact, most plantations did not have a "farmhouse" or mansion.

You should never visit Mt Vernon. Or live in DC, MD or VA.

Much of the land here in this region are former plantations.

Not if they put that on the entrance sign.

Slave labor was used to build the White House. Guess we should just tear it down.

Truly am tired of people looking for reasons to be offended in life.

The Sporkful did a great episode on the word plantation in food (where it has no culinary meaning). I highly recommend it.
