I've never known the word for this kind of thing, but I'm very glad I do now. It's such an important aspect of the personality of these people. It needs to be discussed more.
Anti-racism campaigner Stephen Hagan criticised the campaign...
Into the trash it goes.
“As the originator of changing the C**n Cheese brand to Cheer..." ...Hagan told Mumbrella...The cheddar cheese brand’s name was changed back in 2021, as Hagan was the front-runner behind getting the Australian company to change its name
Can I throw anything related to this guy into the trash twice? What a pathetic individual.
The original name was after cheese monger Edward William Coon, who developed a technique of ripening cheese known as “cooning”.
Hahaha.
“The word has put my family and my people through so much trauma and it’s just disgraceful to see this happening,” Hagan said.
Alright, I've upped this to trash x infinity. Just an endless loop of throwing anything this guy touches into the trash until the end of time.
“...it’s an absolute disgrace that in 2023, someone thinks they can come up with an… ad like that on a product that is very popular with people of colour,” Hagan told Mumbrella.
Ahahaha. Also, I looked it up. He's not the largest person ever, but he is rather overweight, from what I can find.
He's also the dude who tried to get Scrabble on...human rights violations a few years back.
Hagan is a destructive, revenge-seeking, racist cunt. I wish him great ill, especially after the fucking cheese bullshit (coon is not a slur, in Australia). That is all.
After he left teaching to work with a number of Indigenous organisations...From there he moved into the Department of Foreign Affairs, gaining a diplomatic post to Colombo in Sri Lanka.
So, teaching, NGOs, government work, and diplomat. So that's a no on a real job so far.
Upon returning to Australia he worked in both the public and private sectors, the latter including venturing into cultural tourism. More recently he lectured at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) in Toowoomba while undertaking a doctorate.
Still no.
In July 2010, Hagan became editor of the National Indigenous Times. After promising to fix problems with plagiarism at the paper, Hagan left in December 2013. His suit for unfair dismissal was part of the reason the paper went into administration in 2015.
Definitely not. And of course he sued them on his way out.
Hagan was awarded a doctorate by USQ in 2016 for a thesis on judicial bias against Indigenous Australians. The thesis was the base for his 2017 book, The Rise and Rise of Judicial Bigotry.
Jeez.
In 2021, Hagan was appointed chief executive of the Townsville Aboriginal and Islander Health Services (TAIHS). His three-year contract was terminated after five months following a unanimous vote by the organisation's board. He subsequently launched an unfair dismissal case against TAIHS.
It's hard to believe just 15 years ago we had a mainstream movie with a white guy in blackface, if this is the level of puritanical pearl clutching we're seeing now...Jesus Christ.
We better shoot all the raccoons. After all their name is racist. That tail too, are they saying that black should be next to lighter colors? I mean they are literally Hitler.
In Australia, Krispy Kreme had an ad campaign that added extra O's in the shape of donuts to words. One of the words that popped up for a couple seconds was "congratulations", becoming "coongratulations" before disappearing as other words popped on the screen.
Vitamin water is a sugary drink with many ingredients that could easily come from a non-kosher source. One famous example would be carmine, or red dye no.4, which is a "food safe" colorant made from crushed cochineal insects. Bugs are not kosher.
Are ISPs blocking archive? I've noticed I can't get through the Cloudflare or whatever captcha check that is unless I'm on VPN. I checked my pihole too, it's not that.
I've had the same problem for the longest time, and actually still do. It works with a VPN. Changing DNS makes no difference.
But for some reason, Pale Moon still works. You may want to try that, but only for archives as it's probably less secure than other browsers. (I use different browsers to segregate different tasks.)
Huh, see in modern insane times, I'd have thought they'd be upset if they announced a fully chocolate donut and a caramel donut both having a vanilla filling..
But when in doubt, accidentally bring up an old racist term everyone stopped using decades ago
Getting offended by this is like being offended by "Cofagrigus" (a Pokemon) having "fag" in it. How do these people even live when they view words through a video game filter?
I have long said that if you have time to be offended by these things, then things are going pretty well for you
I believe the term you're looking for is "luxury beliefs"
That’s it!
First-world problems.
I've never known the word for this kind of thing, but I'm very glad I do now. It's such an important aspect of the personality of these people. It needs to be discussed more.
Things go very well for these people precisely because getting offended at such things is their full-time job.
That’s definitely true
Um. This is too good. And, yes, it's real.
Into the trash it goes.

What an absolute fucking piece of shit loser!
This. Exactly this.

Have fun with that can ‘o’ worms!
The definition of a useless eater.
It's hard to believe just 15 years ago we had a mainstream movie with a white guy in blackface, if this is the level of puritanical pearl clutching we're seeing now...Jesus Christ.
And, of course, it only goes one way. Want to hate on whitey? No problem!

Guess we gotta call them racblacks now
Racs of colour surely?!
Blaccoons
Damn it, such an obvious dad joke and I missed it!! I shall hang my head in shame
Better to just shoot all the niggers, and feed them to the raccoons.
I'll have to imagine it because archive hates my current IP address
edit: thank you guys

Some coons got offended.
This is on the same level as certain blacks thinking that the K on vitamin water meant the KKK made it to poison them.
They'd never heard of Kosher
Does it not relate to Vitamin K..? That was my logical assumption…
Vitamin Water the brand not the thing
No I know that. I still just assumed the “K” on (at least some of) the bottles was in reference to that…
The Kosher symbol has always been a separate thing, on food and drink products, at least over here…
Yeah, that's what they were mad about. A small K in a circle on the label

*if you’re insane. Which Hagan is.
To any normal person..? Almost certainly not…
Coon cheese lol
The second sentence says "Kristy kream". I thought I was seeing things. NOPE! Does that fat candidate get a royalty?
Huh, see in modern insane times, I'd have thought they'd be upset if they announced a fully chocolate donut and a caramel donut both having a vanilla filling..

That never had currency in Australia anyway. This man is just insane. And has a weirdly specific obsession with that particular term…
Wait a minute, isn't "coon-ass" used to refer to white Louisiana Cajuns? As a Canadian with no Francophone ancestry whatsoever, I am deeply offended.
Guy's name is "Coon." I'll bet he had fun in high school.
It's the same retarded shit as getting angry about the word "niggardly."
It took me way too long to figure out what the “slur” was.
But come on now, is coongratulations, which as they said only momentarily said that, even that bad?
Coongratulations!
Raccoon
OMG I JUST SPELLED A RACIAL SLUR! SOMEONE CANCEL ME!
