Make Dems Cry Again 2020! (bobrazz) said:So, you folks call those with dark skin "coons"?
We don't, actually.
It is the cheese guy's surname, so just an unfortunate coincidence.
I couldn't find where the patent information mentioned the packaging.
Either way, the sentence you have a problem with is nothing but hearsay.

Exactly. It's a culture.
But the Nazi connection is bad.

What's important about the packaging? Are you flailing, here, or am I really missing something?

Actually it was a quote from the Dr who seemed to have finally gotten is way and eliminated an offensive brand name. A name that seems not to be "offensive" to the people of the country in which that product is sold. Since, virtually all of them have never been called "coons" in all their history!
No, Virginia, the sky was not falling. It's called rain.................

So, we should stop using those terms? Like Jews and homosexuals?

It's what got you upset.
Go back and read for yourself.

No, because Jews and homosexuals are just that. The name of the sauce is an altered name, which is something the Nazis called gypsies while they were rounding them up in concentration camps.

It isn't. It's the normal German name for the Roma and Sinti. They're collectively known as Zigeuner from the Greek "singanoi" . All the Germanic countries use the same word. The Latin countries use another derivative: gitanos, citanos, zingari. The Slav countries use cigani. In the UK it's gypsy or Romani.

So, you were "flailing". Got it. After all, you refused to answer a simple question.
BTW Do you have a quote where I was "upset" about the packaging? You seem to be really upset finding that the facts do not support the name change, at all.

No, because Jews and homosexuals are just that.
So are gypsies. And zigeuner is simply the word for gypsy in german. Use google translator.
The name of the sauce is an altered name, which is something the Nazis called gypsies while they were rounding them up in concentration camps.
Do you have evidence that the term was "altered" by the nazis? If not, once again, should we stop using the words Jews and Homosexuals?

No.
I'm not doing your homework for you.
I had enough of that crap from Goss.
