Uncle Ben's rice firm to scrap brand image of black farmer

[Mr.Thunders]

Nice to see the OP struggling to understand why white and brown rice are named this way.

 

[HellsBells]

Different schools maybe
Or a better memory

Had you heard of the Tulsa massacre before this week?

Had you heard of the Tulsa massacre before this week?

No, I don't think it they covered every single event which occurred around the globe throughout the history of man

Logon or register to see this image

will stick with this as it currently offends nobody

Why is 'white' in a different font?
I think it's racist

 

[HellsBells]

I don’t mean at school. I mean generally. We’re you even aware that it had happened? I thought it was a fairly big event and that I might have heard about it before now.

I don’t really care to be honest. It’s rice.

Perhaps they might focus group the new brand With some people of colour. They’re the marketing experts. They’ll know what they’re doing.

They already have a brand featuring a person of colour.

Are you saying they need more?

Given his voting history you would think he would want to keep a low profile on this topic

Racism..... racism everywhere.

There will be plenty of "events" we aren't aware of
Good and bad

I said run the new brand past some people of colour to get their views. Not rebrand as a person of colour. The new brand might not have any people on it.

Correct. Do you think that maybe the ones we are aware of are somewhat skewed?

I'm sure uncle ben's being a global brand have had input from non-white people.

In fact I'm pretty sure because of how well it sells worldwide most people don't have a problem with it

 

[kossoff]

Change it to a white person

Problem solved

I'm hoping for Asian.

 

[Aituk7]

I'm hoping for Asian.

That's cos you're racist.

 

[kossoff]

Positive discrimination.

Like I said, they’re the marketing people. They know what they’re doing better than you or I do.

no

So there’s only ever one perspective of history and it’s the one you have. I see.

I'm not sure where you got that answer from. It's a massive leap


I think my history (and religious education) teacher gave me a fairly balanced education on history , warts and all

 

[Aituk7]

Positive discrimination.

Associating Asians with rice is racism.

Take a knee.

Like I said, they’re the marketing people. They know what they’re doing better than you or I do.

I'm sure they haven't got a say in the matter actually

And do you think that a child in a different country got the same warts and all perspective? With exactly the same viewpoints and understanding?

Look forward to the OP making a cheb of himself commenting on US racial politics from an "I didn't know so it doesn't matter" perspective.

FYI "Uncle" and "Aunt" are titles that were given to elderly household slaves in the Confederacy.
