Another “Racially Tinged” Product Rebranded
“Eskimo Pie” Is Now Racist
In the continuing fit of Political Correctness, another ionic American product name has been deemed unsuitable and will be changed. The obvious question, “Why” will have to go to Dreyers Grand Ice Cream. Don’t expect an answer.

Say Good By to Eskimo Pies
By Steve Straub
Another major company run by leftist idiots, this time Dreyers Grand Ice Cream, has decided to change the name of one of it’s iconic brands because some moron decided the name is “racially tinged”
Eskimo Pies are soon to be a thing of the past because somehow calling an ice cold treat an “Eskimo Pie” is now racist.
Via the New York Post:
The maker of Eskimo Pies will change the 99-year-old brand name of the ice cream treat, the company said Friday — becoming the latest organization to overhaul the marketing of a product with a racially tinged moniker in recent weeks.
The owner of the Eskimo Pie, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, said in a statement they had been considering renaming the chocolate-covered ice cream bar and popsicle for some time.
“We are committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognize the term is derogatory,” the company’s head of marketing said in a statement.
“This move is part of a larger review to ensure our company and brands reflect our people values,” the company added.
Along with the name change, the company will alter the treat’s marketing scheme, which traditionally featured a young boy dressed as an Eskimo in a snowy environmet.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
So about .001% to 2% of the population bawls and the big brands cave to them in the name of political correctness, FUCK THEM ALL.

Indian Corn will need to be genetically eradicated.
I haven’t seen chocolate coated ice cream on a stick in ages. What I get at Aldi is a 3-inch square cut ice cream covered in (yummy!) dark choclate, nice and messy o a hot day, but at least the ice cream doesn’t run down your hands like the other thing does. Occasionally, I go with Dove choco-coated vanilla on a stick.
I thought the Eskima Pie thing had died off from lack of interest.
I personally like the beer selection that Aldi has, ditto with their hard cider!
Fudgesicles will be next. The LBGQT’s will demand it.
They’re gonna ban Creamsicles because ORANGE MAN BAD!
What will the fudge packers in candy factories be called now?
Fudge? And just what is wrong with fudge and anything related to it?
Chocolate ice cream banned? I doubt that they even know what Fudgesicles are. Haven’t seen one of those in a very long time.
Well, if words offend them, they should not use them. If that means silence for them, well, just bless their little hearts!!!
I’d be interested to know if they can find a single member of the Netsilik, Igloolik, Yupik, or other Arctic tribes that actually gives a fuck about the name of Eskimo Pies.
Political correctness is just the newest form of the “White Man’s Burden” from 130 years ago. It may not be the same flavor of racism, but it’s still racist.
Pretty soon, those Keibler Cookies/products depicting Elves making cookies will become extinct, because after all, calling a small critter will be “racist”.
“Fairies” will be deemed a deragatory term, i.e. we will not be able to say “Fairy Tales”.
The “White House” will be changed to “The House” because calling POTUS’s Home “White” is racist.
Betty White will have to change her last name. Martha White Flour will probably change their name because flour should not be white in color.
We will no longer be able to order “Chinese” takeout, because that is racist.
Little Debbie products will change their logo and name because that is discriminating against folks name Debbie (God help me if I said females with that name, because if I did, I would be called sexist).
Jefferson Airplane will quickly get rid of their song “White Rabbit” from the internet.
The Political Correct will go after anyone possessing the Beatle Album “The White Album”.
Santa Claus will no longer exist because he will come across as a dirty ole White Man who lures children to sit in his lap in exchange for promising them gifts by sneaking in their homes in the middle of the night.
Tony the Tiger will be banned as the Logo for Kellogs Frosted Flakes because that is animal abuse.
Same with that durn Leperchan and Lucky Charms. That is stereotyping the Irish.
I could go on and on and on.
See how silly and asinine and absurd this is becoming?
But what do I know? I use a “racist” handle, i.e. “ninja”…

Johnnie Walker Black Label.
I should just pour it on the ground in shame.
No! ‘beans Black Label Matters! Proper disposal of Johnnie Walker Black (or Red), in order to meet EPA Standards, MUST be filtered thru a set of kidneys FIRST. But DO NOT use a white Dixie Cup.
However you will soon not be able to have English Muffins, French Toast, French Fries, Spanish Rice, Greek Gyros, Soul Food, Oriental Stir Fry, Green Beans, Navy Beans (Navy is also a color), No more Mexican Jumping Beans, Black Cow Candy Bars, or any product packaged by these folks here:

You touch my Irish whiskey and we’re gonna fight, KoB! I’ll share lol
Whiskey sucks. Vodka is better.
Only if it’s potato vodka.
Hogwash! Hogwash! Hogwash! Elves and faires come from Faerieland. Ask Queen Mab about it. She’s still pissed off at Oberon for choosing Titania instead of her. The wealth of Shakespeare’s luxuriant imagination and glowing language seems to have been poured forth in the graphic accounts which he has given us of the fairy tribe. Indeed, the profusion of poetic imagery with which he has so richly clad his fairy characters is unrivaled, and the “Midsummer Night’s Dream” holds a unique position in so far as it contains the finest modern artistic realisation of the fairy kingdom. Mr. Dowden in his Shakespeare Primer (1877, pp. 71,72) justly remarks: “As the two extremes of exquisite delicacy, of dainty elegance, and, on the other hand, of thick-witted grossness and clumsiness, stand the fairy tribe, and the group of Athenian handicraftsmen. The world of the poet’s dream includes the two — a Titania, and a Bottom the weaver — and can bring them into grotesque conjunction. No such fairy poetry existed anywhere in English literature before Shakespeare. The tiny elves, to whom a cowslip is tall, for whom the third part of a minute is an important division of time, have a miniature perfection which is charming. They delight in all beautiful and dainty things, and war with things that creep and things that fly, if they be uncomely; their lives are gay with fine frolic and delicate revelry.” Puck, the jester of fairyland, stands apart from the rest, the recognisable “lob of spirits,” a rough, “fawn-faced, shock-pated little fellow, dainty-limbed shapes around him.” Judging, then, from the elaborate account which the poet has bequeathed us of the fairies, it is evident that the subject was one in which he took a special interest. Indeed, the graphic pictures he has handed down to us of “Elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes and groves; And ye, that on the sands with printless foot, Do chase the ebbing Neptune, and do fly him When he comes back; you demy-puppets that By moonshine do the green-sour ringlets make Whereof the ewe not bites,” &c…., show how intimately… Read more »
I always thought that the Irish aren’t bothered by the leprechaun on boxes of Lucky Charms because they’re NOT a bunch of perpetually offended wusses!
Spot on, API! If we were offended, we’d be stacking bodies!
And, those signalers of virtue, the Chixie Dicks, er, Dixie Chicks, have dropped Dixie from their group’s name, cuz they be woke. Toby Keith was asked about the name change and asked, “who?”.
Next, anyone named Dixie will have to change their name.
The Winn Dixie grocery store chain has already talked about changing their name to cave to pussy-assed political correctness as well!
Oh, BS, UP North! BS, I say!
Someone whose name is Dixie and was given that name at birth is unlikely to change it just because some snottynosed twit with cheesewhiz for brains doesn’t like it.
This is when you get in someone’s face and get really, really low-key but nasty with IT, whatever IT is. 🙂
Pretty little green eyed auburn haired gal that cuts my hair is named Dixie. I’ll just leave this right here! Has a snowflake warning you have to click on.
Exactly, first the howler monkeys don’t give a crap about offending the Irish, and second, the only way they could do so is by taking away our whiskey and Guinness, which would lead to SFC D’s statement above..
And to add to Ninja’s post above, in order to not offend, Dick Van Dyke will be changing his name to Penis Truck Lesbian…
There is no Good Humor on banishing the name.
good one Jeff.
UPDATE::
“Eskimo Pies” will now be rebranded as “Uncle Toms”, due to being dark on the outside, and white on the inside. Breyers Corp. feels the name change better associates Breyers Corp. with current socialist trends, and our weak-kneed political values that demand we grovel to leftist whining as often as possible.
What will become of Oreo’s?
Oreos are now made by a Mexican company and the name has not changed, nor have the other cookies in that line. 🙂 They do have more cream filling, though, 😛 and there is also an Oreo with chocolate filling.
Modelez ain’t Mexican, “The Mondelez name is a coined word adopted in 2012 that was suggested by Kraft Foods employees, and is derived from the Latin word mundus (“world”) and delez, a fanciful modification of the word “delicious.””
No one every accused the people at Kraft of having great tastes.
(Full disclosure: I have a long position in Kraft)

Larry Mondello.
For some reason that name just jumped out.
No “minority” may be depicted in any manner. They must remain out of sight victims, because that is how pale liberals see “equality”.
Privileged pale people rescuing the downtrodden, who are perfectly equal of course, but unable to function without ” help” and “protection, but perfectly equal, but always victims and powerless, but ” equal”
Ahem. -bullshit- you racist nincompoops.
“unable to function without ” help”
Especially with voting.
You can blame Lundon Johnson for the turmoil we’re in now. He started the welfare system back in the 1960s. when he succeeded JFK in office. How else could someone as obnoxious as that glad=handing sack of shit from my home state get the (pick your pejorative) vote?
Should white and brown rice be relabeled?
That’s a ricist way of thinking.
Relabeled as what? There are also yellow rice, red rice and wild rice, in addition to jasmine rice (natural perfume) and arborio rice, an African species that was in use in Italy long, long ago.
Now what was that about renaming things?
I recall seeing a lot of rice in Viet of the Nam.
Some of it was quite Crispie at times.
At this pace, by next year the colors black, brown and yellow will be rebranded.
I have a few recommendations on what new names to use for the colors….
“Bad boys rape our young girls but Violet gives willingly”
It’s a Signal Corps thing.
Well, then how will they be “rebranded”, Joe?
I’m just asking, because colors are lodged in the physics of light and vision, and have nothing to do with humans beyond color vision. Yes, I know you’re “kidding”, but I’m curious as to how that might work.
Go to the Mexican isle in your store and look at all the packages with guys in sombreros. The girls in Mexican clothes. The stereo types are all over the isle. I have yet to hear the Mexicans screaming about it. Most of the brands come out of Mexico.
Bring back the Frito Bandito!
Here’s another:
In 4th grade, I was the Frito Bandito for the school Halloween parade. I even gave out those tiny bags of Fritos!
Oddly enough, my best friend Uhl Martinez thought I was hilarious.
Here’s another, gettin’ woke, gettin’ broke.
Just as well that beer was kinda nasty and green tasting. Figured it was from all the swamp water they used to make it out of.

A southern boy who doesn’t like Dixie beer? Well don’t that beat all. Actually, I’ve never had their lighter beer; I tried their “Blackened Voodoo” lo these many years ago and thought it was pretty good. Oh well, just as long as this name change doesn’t lead to a run on Yuengling, I’m good. If that Dixie lager is as crappy as you make it sound, this name change may cause a shortage of that diet swill that Low-velocity Joseph drinks!🤣
Welcome Home Pappy, you’ve been missed.
Yeah well, it’s an acquired taste I guess, or maybe I’ve had too many really good beers. Or it could be the time frame I was drinking it years ago, was when it had just changed hands from the original owners to the folks that had it before this ol gal and her old man bought it in ’17. Think the last time I actually drank some was in NOLA back in ’02. Jawja has some downright restrictive Class VI Supplies laws that favored the really old, established carpetbagger distributors. When I was drinking it on a regular basis back in the ’90s my pard at the liquor store had to special order it.
In my many travels I never met a coldbeer I didn’t drink. I’ve even been accused of being in the Engineers. 😉 😛 😆 I copped an attitude at all things Louisiana and particularly NOLA years ago. My long planned road trip was even designed to skirt the whole damn state, tho I was planning on hitting a corner of Texas.
I agree, I used to love me some Blackened Voodoo.. Shame I’ll apparently have to avoid it going forward… this is why we can’t have nice things.
There’s even talk of the grocery store chain Winn Dixie changing its name to cave in and puss out to political correctness!
The current creation of the new secular religion with its god–we shall call this god Moronulus–has already seen a schism within it. Ironically, the religion–Moronity–appears to be a whole lot like Islamic sharia in practice…weird.
The original call for Moronulus and the creation of Moronity is already forgotten in favor of rebranded racial crackpot theories from the 19th century in. Those theories produced a very, very, bloody war.
What happens this time? Will the LARPing soycuck classes bowing down the their new god, Moronulus get their asses beat or will the Normies just give up?
Normies do not give up. Those who do give up are not normies.
The old saw about atheists in foxholes likely will be proven again this summer.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream
They all scream forRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACISSSSSSSSSSST!!!!!!!!!”
Paper Mills trade in “Black Liquor”
It’s a thing. You can look it up. It travels in unmarked tankers
except for the D.O.T placards. Disgusting stuff but if you like
wiping your ass with toilet paper you will turn a blind eye.
I worked in a paper mill and there is Black Liquor, White Liquor and Green Liquor, so now I’m sure that the snot-spined PC types will also want to ban the term “Green Liquor” because it could be offensive to space aliens!
What about Black Russians? Nobody can get bruised, mustn’t be “black and blue”. Will we now have melanin enhanced beans?
API, it’s rumored that when space aliens travel near Earth these days, they lock the doors on the spacecraft.
