      All I see is Americans being the world police and world moralists again, while the rest of us roll our eyes at you unapologetically murderous people. Clearly your comment shows you didn’t care about the shit you did to my people

            Goober is a term for peanuts in general, it’s not specific to African peanuts. It can indeed be used colloquially to refer to a simpleton or silly person, but it doesn’t have any particular racial connotation.

            The only connection to Africa I could find is the etymology, as the word was borrowed from an African language. Considering 75% of English’s vocabulary (including swear words) is borrowed from other languages, I don’t think this is a particularly pertinent thing to take issue with. I mean, unless you have a source showing I’m wrong. No source I could find points to any racist connotation for the word “goober”.
