A town in my province here recently dropped their town slogan of "The land of rape and honey", referring to rapeseed as one of the main exports.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/22/canadian-town-tisdale-land-of-rape-and-honey-slogan

Though I say recently, and that was 4 god damn years ago. I kinda miss seeing the sign when I drive through the town, but it was most definitely a bit of an outdated slogan that needed to be replaced.


Now I know where Ministry got the title to that album.

I just don't understand people anymore. How is this racist? How is depicting someone wearing their native attire racist? It's as stupid as calling Homer Simpson racist against Americans because he wears a white t-shirt with jeans.

The real racism is claiming that traditional native american attire is racist because that's basically them saying that they think they're savages

You know... the only reason I think I ever even noticed her was because someone pointed out how, if you fold it just right, it looks like she's flashing you. Otherwise I can't think of a single time I even really noticed her. She was basically, well, a background image.

So I don't get it.

I don't understand this, or the whole "Aunt Jemima is racist" thing. Perhaps I'm insensitive to the issue, but is it unacceptable for non-white people to be used as mascots now? Why?

Its stupid inept logic normal people cant comprehend.
Its along the same level of stupidity when that guy told his friend it was racist to make his character in a video game black. Like you would think they would be all for diversity but lmao nope.

Because whites are becoming less and less the dominant race as much as they are trying to win it back, a la MAGA.
Using a stereotype is lazy marketing. It may have been acceptable but it is starting to not be as much now.
If you can't put any other race as your logo/mascot, you're probably stereotyping or being racist.
The products still around are just so recognizable that it is taking time to correct them all.

Land o lakes is from Minnesota, whose name is Dakota native American in origin. If land o lakes can't have a native American mascot, the state and any other cities bases on the native American language must also be changed.
