I like how the article says that judging by twitter reactions, "the change may not have been enough".
Implying that people think the new name is also "racist" or "offensive" or whatever.

And then they show a bunch of them and it's all people sarcastically asking "how is this supposed to end systemic racism and police brutality?"
In other words, "this was stupid and fucking pointless, and no one even asked for this"
But the article twists it to mean the exact opposite.

Speaking as an official representative of the white community, I'm glad to see that all of these terrible minorities are finally being removed from product packaging. Now I can eat rice that is as white as I am, without having to think about the lesser races!

Remember - if it ain't white, it ain't right!

Since Mexican isn't considered a race by US standards, Cholula is safe.

The really ironic thing about that was she was actually designed by a Native American artist.

Racism? Not really sure whether it's for or against at this point, it's all very muddled when both sides are promoting cultural (and sometimes literal) segregation.

Overlooking that Mexican is a nationality rather than a race, Americans -- and many other racially ignorant nationalities -- actually do think it's a race. The actual race in that case would be Latino -- or, as the media promotes, Latinex (a phrase that most Latinos haven't heard of and have no clue what it means) -- although obviously a lot of Mexicans aren't Latino because any race can move to any nation and, once they or their children become citizens, they fall under that nationality.

Ben's Original Rice
So it wasn't the depiction of the mascot. It was the notion that a sibling of his had offspring that was offensive to people?

Did you say get rid of Aunt Jemima?
No, please help push police reform.

No, abolish systemic racism!

Food companies don't have the power to stop crime. However, if even a third of BLM protestors joined neighborhood watches instead of vandalizing neighborhoods, the murder rate would plummet.

I used to be able to say They dont affect me. Welp. 2020 Canada says otherwise.

Also, looks like Mead and I agree on a ton of shit, but he blocked me because he couldnt handle being wrong just that one time, versus all the other times.
