Rhodesian
Pre-independence African nationality
Rhodesian refers to someone or something from Rhodesia, a former British colony in southern Africa that became Zimbabwe in 1980.
The term appears in Rhodesian Ridgeback, a dog breed developed there, and in historical contexts: Rhodesian bush war, Rhodesian independence.
Today it sometimes signals nostalgia for white minority rule, carrying political freight depending on context.
