The cancer that is political correctness strikes again, land o lakes removes its beautiful Native American woman from its packaging

From the picture, apparently dairy farmers are primarily women and/or hispanic

Think they left the cows out on purpose or is that field where they grow the butter?

They should replace her with a pilgrim, or Christopher Columbus. See how they like that!

No. The best way to deal with those people is to tell them to fuck off and then stand your ground.

What a shame..loss of a perfectly wholesome mascot. I remember when "Betty Crocker" was re-imagined as a racial composite.

Stupid me, I thought "Uncle Ben" looked pretty dignified for a waiter, and "Aunt Jemima" was much like what I saw of black women of a certain age when I was a kid.

Nothing for me to boycott, as I always buy Falfurrias butter, which is a Texas icon. But the PC pandering makes it easier to pass over the Land O' Lakes package.

Anyone ever take that package and fold it so her knees were much higher? You will know what I'm talking about if you've seen it or have done it. LOL.

Eighth post on the first page, chellim1 posted a slightly more sophisticated “upgrade” of the packaging. Of course that one likely required two boxes.

The left is busy purging all images of native Americans from our society. Then when they are totally forgotten, that will also be considered racism.

I just don't want to see Elizabeth Warren's ... knees.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Are there that many SJWs that LoL felt it necessary to appease them, and not tell them to pound sand? Surely there couldn't have been more than a few complaints. Or were there? Along those lines, how is Aunt Jemima still around?

I will vote with my wallet and never buy their butter again, just for being so lame.

it's just processed food. a slow long term poison. vegetable oils - aka seed oils, one molecule away from plastic. better to stick with real butter anyway. if you're sick it'll make you sicker. if you're young then you're on the road there.

fwiw

The very phrase "one molecule away from X" is nonsensical bologna, scientifically.

Further, the meme and notion from which this sentiment originates is also nonsense.

(I like real butter, myself, but not for made up reasons.)
