A UK grocery chain removed chocolate duck-shaped Easter candy from shelves because it was deemed racist.
quote:
Called “Trio of Easter ducklings,” it included baby waterfowl in three varieties. One was made with milk chocolate, called “Crispy” on the packaging, another was crafted from white chocolate and named “Fluffy,” and a third was dark chocolate speckled with pink coloring that was dubbed “Ugly.”
A woman who goes by Livia Aliberti on Twitter posted a photo of the ducklings on March 7, writing: “Ugly is the dark one on the right. Overheard women saying ‘this is not right,’ I agree, doesn’t look good at all. Thousands of other options... why #ugly
quote:
But Waitrose & Partners, the chain of British supermarkets that sold the candy, pulled it from shelves, according to CNN. “We are very sorry for any upset caused by the name of this product, it was absolutely not our intention to cause any offence,” a statement from the company obtained by CNN says.
"We removed the product from sale several weeks ago while we changed the labeling and our ducklings are now back on sale.”

Owlie’s been black-balled frequently.
He’ll be disappointed if that becomes outlawed.

The only way to defeat this BS is to ignore it. A couple of times lately there have been stories of companies or individuals who refuse to bow to these idiots and the stories disappear after a single news cycle. Just tell the idiots to frick off and move on. Giving them what they want just incentivizes the behavior.

People of the modern world are looking for ways to be offended.
