The nostalgic winter drink dividing Germany (i.e, it's racist to name a drink out of respect for an African revolutionary because... the drink is dark)

Tbh, naming a dark drink with a "shot" of alcohol after an assassinated dark-skinned politician (and yes, that pun works in German) is a darker joke than I expected.

Just call it „Tote Tante“ (dead Aunt), like it’s called in Denmark, the Netherlands and northern Germany.

Hi, I regularly visit German Christmas markets. I didn’t even know this drink existed; 98.9% order gluehwine, the rest kinderpunsch. Many relevant and interesting things happening in Germany and the bbc talks about a drink?!
