Title: Trader Joe's - Finally A Company Stands Up To Cancel Culture
Post by: SOMEPARTS on July 30, 2020, 01:11:43 PM
BRAVO! TIDE IS TURNING.

"A few weeks ago, an online petition was launched calling on us to "remove racist packaging from [our] products." Following were inaccurate reports that the petition prompted us to take action. We want to be clear: we disagree that any of these labels are racist. We do not make decisions based on petitions.

We make decisions based on what customers purchase, as well as the feedback we receive from our customers and Crew Members. If we feel there is need for change, we do not hesitate to take action.

Decades ago, our Buying Team started using product names, like Trader Giotto's, Trader José's, Trader Ming's, etc. We thought then—and still do—that this naming of products could be fun and show appreciation for other cultures. For example, we named our Mexican beer "Trader José Premium" and a couple guacamole products are called "Avocado's Number" in a kitschy reference to a mathematical theory.  These products have been really popular with our customers, including some budding mathematicians......"

I agree, but I'm not sure we heard the final bell.  I hope they stick to their guns.

I am surprised that they did't cave.  Give it more time.  I hope they don't, but we shall see.

Ha. You got censored. I know the cheese you mean.


Btw Is It Racist would be an awesome game show. X. Oh, I'm sorry. The answer, once again, was yes. Shame on you. Shame. And shame on physics.

And a band should be called The Banned.

People on the right should start attacking lefty businesses.  There are unlimited targets.  They should also bomb the courts with defamation lawsuits against these lunatics and force the left to be on the defense.

Normal people are too decent for that.

Difference is that we people on the right don't do that (like the left who vandalize, assault, riot etc). We are usually quite civilized.


But we will defend ourselves when attacked, or when a gate is crashed in our neighborhood.

Yeah, just like the couple in St.Louis who may be facing criminal charges.

It started with a 17-year-old:

“The Trader Joe’s branding is racist because it exoticizes other cultures — it presents ‘Joe’ as the default ‘normal’
and the other characters falling outside of it,” said the petition posted by 17-year-old Briones Bedell.
