Nestlé is rebranding its Red Skins and Chicos sweets, saying that their controversial names which feature offensive racial overtones are "out of step" with the company's values.
The products, which are sold in Australia, have prompted complaints for several years.
Allen's, the Nestlé (NSRGF) brand which produces the sweets, said in a statement posted to Facebook on Tuesday that the decision to rename the products was made to avoid marginalizing its friends, neighbors and colleagues.
Redskin is a slur used to describe Native Americans, while chico can be a stereotypical term for Latin Americans.

We need a official slur to be used against the politically correct and only against them. To be used at every turn.
I propose PCdiot.

Why no protests over those Redskin Potatoes at the supermarket?

Don’t get me started on “Chicanos”.
They claim to be Latin but are nothing more than Mezo-American indigenous tribal descendants.
There isn’t anything Latin about a Chicano.

They say that the pejorative comes from Mexico because they aren’t fully Mexican. They have indigenous and American ancestory.

“Sports teams are probably next.”
I’m triggered by NY Yankees. They need to change their name, especially since the libs are going after the confederacy.
