  I too enjoy the white privilege of being able to look at something and judge it without thinking about context. It’s fantastic to be able to simplify things to just face value and not think about the racial history behind it. It’s one of my favorite privileges.

  Unfortunately, I somehow never got that middle-aged white man’s confidence of instantly knowing what other people should be feeling, better than they do. I must be defective. But it means I tend to defer to the people that are hurt by something to judge if they’ve been hurt or not.

    Stfu. It’s not I ain’t heard this, it’s that I don’t accept it, in this limited case. And for someone don’t even know my race to instantly go with the white privilege line is fucking telling.

      You seem rather sensitive on the topic. Have you had issues with race a lot?

  It’s literally based on a stereotype of black people being food preppers for rich white folks but sure buddy.

    This might shock you, but some black people work in kitchens even today.

  Wasn’t the butter one just… A human shaped bottle? Looking at the logo from the beginning until the end it doesn’t look like it’s ever been a thing other than simply a depiction of a black woman. Not even a caricature of such, just like a painting of a person who could totally be real.

    No the blue eyed Indian on the pound of butter

  Ironically, the butter one was actually designed by Patrick DesJarlait, an Ojibwe man, specifically meant to accurately reflect his culture. Here’s an article written by his son about the whole thing:
