Is it racist? Trader Joe’s won't change ethnic-sounding label names
The Chinese word MING meaning “Brilliant” --to describe the nation’s last imperial dynasty and the name JOSE (in Spanish) meaning “God Will Increase” is apparently racist in the year 2020.
In an article from CHICAGO SUNTIMES titled:
TRADER JOE’S WON’T CHANGE ETHNIC-SOUNDING LABEL NAMES by John Rodgers.
Trader Joe’s says it will stick with labels like Trader Jose’s and Trader Ming’s for Mexican and Asian food.
The grocery chain said last month that it was moving to change the names of some of its products—after an online petition denounced them as racist.
“We want to be clear: we disagree that any of these labels are racist.” It added, “We do not make decisions based on petitions.”
The petition posted on Change.org by a high school student claims the names create “a narrative of exoticism that perpetuates harmful stereotypes.”
People still don’t fully realize how EASY it is to create a petition on Change.org since the business would be RUINED taking advice from the WOKE- APOCALYPSE!
The petition that reached nation coverage from cable news received 5000 SIGNATURES – that's NOTHING!
Now it’s time for former Vice President JOE BIDEN to start answering media’ question: WHY his campaign allows HIS NAME to exist?
If anyone even cares – a very reliable source: URBAN DICTIONARY describes the meaning of CHRIS as …. “a really hot teddy bear!”
