    Oh, you can be certain that they will. Even if Native American women are saying that they had no issue with the Land-O-Lakes image, and that they now are sorry to see her absence, that makes no difference. You see...those women are ignorant, and/or misguided (according to the liberals).

    The liberals are the most intelligent, caring people on the planet, and they will happily tell you that. And if you disagree with them, why then that is proof positive that you're an ignorant slug...and they will scream at you, call you every vile name imaginable, and threaten your life, and likely even act on those threats. Especially if you are so outrageously ignorant and uneducated...as to dare to wear a certain red hat in their presence. For the sake of the planet...they must shout down, or beat down, anyone who espouses an opinion contrary to theirs. It's all for your own good! :smiley:

    Has problem with people overusing/vulgarizing the term racist, in turn does it himself.

    Unlike him and his angry ramblings, the word racist actually applies correctly in this context. They didn’t like native art so they kicked cancel culture into top gear.

    Liberals pressured Land O Lakes to remove the Indian, but keep the land. History repeats itself.

    Lol...

    You distort it slightly so it seems the word racist is accurate, but anyone with a brain knows its not racist against white people. You insisting on it makes you just as faulty as the libtards you're at odds with in regards of misusing and overplaying the 'racecard'.

    You got proof of this?

    Or did Land O Lakes just choose to do it themselves?

    You make a good point. Advertising and logo's follow ever changing trends and failure to keep up can badly affect sales.
    I personally did not like the original label. It was simply too cluttered. It had nothing to do with the African American woman.

    Don't know if you noticed but no one consumes butter in Cloud city. So if not submitted for review by any Bespin citizens first then yes: this could be offensive.
    On the other hand: Bespin was not invaded and conquered by the galactic empire, so in that regard its a different scenario.

    exactly. seems kind of racist to say that a company can never change their logo once a minority has been on it.
