yams are a completely different tuber from a completely different family of plants
southerners mistakenly believe that sweet potatoes are called yams because they imported a bunch of retarded African slaves and adopted parts of their dialect for some reason

no, pic related is a yam. yams are generally poisonous until cooked and are almost never sweet.
americans just mistaken call sweet potatoes yams because of visual similarity as actual yams are almost never used outside of tropical cuisines

I've had yams. They require peeling so I prefer sweet potatoes.
