Friends don't let friends use iris, those flowers are not innocuous:
"Many people using iris will be unaware that it was first published in work by R A Fisher, a eugenicist with vile and harmful views on race. In fact, the iris dataset was originally published in the Annals of Eugenics. It is clear to me that knowingly using work that was itself used in pursuit of racist ideals is totally unacceptable."
