She's not even hot for gods sake!

These products have been in NZ for over 60 years, this is their second complaint ever. Did Canadians finally discover NZ, or were all the other Canadians too busy enjoying themselves to not give a shit?

[golde30]

in japan they used to have a candy in the 60's called "Coco Beans" and it had a picture of a black guy who was super black with pink lips. funny stuff.

American Eskimos would never bitch about this, they'd be too busy eating the candy.

Calling an Inuit an "Eskimo" is the same as calling a black man a "N1gger." It's considered a racial epithet plain and simple.

If you were a black man and saw a candy shaped like a stereotypical African dude and called "N1ggers," you'd probably be pretty offended too.

You're missing the point, if its so offensive, why hasn't someone complained before? It's not like we've never had Canadians eat our ice cream.

First it's Eskimos, and now this:



As a Caucasian male, I am thoroughly offended by this!

My grandparents went to Japan in the '80s and came back with a bunch of this toothpaste:

...which is now apparently "Darlie" brand, haha

I was just about to come in here and ask where the Gummi-Negros were.

Yeah. I had to go back and edit the original post so folks could know WTF I was talking about.

Anyway, I've spent many years as a doctor in Montreal and I've had lots of patients who were Inuit, plus the occasional Aleut or Cree. They were flown down to our university hospital when they had medical problems that were too serious to be treated in northern nursing stations. They would definitely be offended if somebody were to call them an Eskimo.
