It's no the legitimately offensive,

It's the absurdly offensive...like Aunt Jemima.

Conservatives? The responses in this thread show all sides coming out of the woodworks to place disgust. Guess that boogeyman won't stop creeping inbetween your floor tiles, eh sonny?

i know people who hated the aunt jamima logo (and also Juan Valdez and the Cream of Wheat guy) but my attitude was always like, if racism is so prevelent, why is this what you're getting so mad about know what i mean?

ultimately, aunt jamima meant little but it also means little to change it so if Quaker or whatever company makes it wants to switch it up good for them.

Actually, it's the notion of whiny *****es who have no more pressing crises in their lives than to look for something like the label on a ****ing bottle of fake maple syrup so they can go "Oh, I'm such the victim, I'm being oppressed by the evil white corporate fake maple syrup massuhs. Can I sue, to make myself feel better?"

I'm ****ing offended by the name Ritz crackers, OK? They're making a deliberate slur against my heritage.

I recently saw a t-shirt from Aryanzombie & *****, which had the logo 'Two Wongs can make it White!', accompanied by little rickshaw-pushing slants.

Being of Chinese descent, I was almost offended. I mean, culturally I think I was supposed to be upset, but then again I still say 'United Negro College Fund' just to take the piss out of people.

i was offended, not because of the chinese thing, but because i couldn't believe an image-conscious company would shoot itself in the foot with a growing market by tempting p.c.
sheer stupidity.

Uh oh

I guess it would be deemed appropriate to note that I wrote the article on display, and that it probably hasn't much to do with this humble time and space which we call reality

Kind of forgot to mention that in the thread starter, I guess...

Complaining about PC is easier than arguing issues because the right wingers know they're wrong on the issues.

Listen you dumb, ignorant piece of ****, someone complaining about an image rooted in racism doesn't mean they believe they are being oppressed by evil whites. It means they're offended by image rooted in racism. You're white so you like having things like SNL, Mad TV and the label in question to pay you your "phycological wage" (to quote W.E.B. DuBois) of being white and feeling superior. People have a right to speak when something offends them.

So **** you and the racist caricature you used in the above qoute to show what an ignorant dumbass you are.

I don't know, but he only votes for black girls in Pageant/ Babe threads, and thinks white people are jealous of the SHEER TALENT rappers posess. CHARMING!
