IKEA Issues Apology for its Vile Racism re: Jerk Chicken Meatballs

I'm trying to go forward with the rest of the day, but it's hard after reading about such blatant racism in the world.

Where's my emotional support miniature horse when I need it?

IKEA, the Swedish furniture company famous for their affordable, assembly-required home goods as well as their delicious meatballs, came under fire recently after adding "Jerk Chicken" to their cafe menu in some U.K. locations.

Jerk chicken is a Caribbean dish in which the meat has been dry-rubbed or marinated with a specific set of ingredients (often including allspice, Scotch bonnet peppers, brown sugar, and garlic), then grilled.

IKEA's jerk chicken was served with a side of white rice and peas, which caught the attention of some on social media, who castigated the furniture giant because traditional "rice and peas" doesn't actually feature green peas, but kidney beans (or gungo peas) steeped in coconut milk.
