We tried that with emojis and the nose-ring crowd eventually created racial ones (and pregnant men emojis) because yellow just doesn't virtue-signal enough.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I am normally the first one in line to say that (insert selected grievance whores here) are being their typical irrational and overreacting selves; however, they may have a point here.

Seems like Target is always apologizing.

Target’s ad campaign for 2020 was “2020 is our year”.

The campaign was cancelled after this in May of that year:



As to 2020, they could have it, as far as I’m concerned.

I mean.... I see the resemblance.

I get the "anti-woke" sentiment on the OT, but between the lips, pants and top hat... bad look.

Honestly, what idiot thought that a costume like this would be a good idea? No one in modern times would buy that shite!

They should market a KKK costume as "Wizard."
