My guess was she jumped too quickly toward Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
I've yet to watch this game, but just wanted to jump in and say congrats on getting to the stage! From reading other comments, it seems like you had a tough draw with the boards and, more importantly, you had fun, so kudos!

I initially made the same Kipling connection.

That was the other choice. It was a coin flip until you applied the language of the clue to determine which one was correct.
I guess I was trying to make the (overly-subtle?) point that it was a bad idea to base a correct response on what a segment of the population is presumed to be feeling.
You were entirely correct on the first post.
I was just re-affirming that the clue was basically a coin flip.

I don't understand the criticism of this clue as being liberal/woke/etc. I consider myself on the right side of the spectrum and didn't have a problem with it. I do understand the criticism of it being poorly worded and subjective though.

Thanks! Between watching the game and a massive turnout for the watch party (I didn't know everyone) it's been a heck of a ride. I was the first Jeopardy contestant from my little town, so we've all been having fun.
I got the bronze on Jeopardy!
