RIVERSIDE — A Riverside restaurant is holding a contest to rename its "squaw" bread after a customer refused to use the name, saying it is offensive.

Backstreet Restaurant owner Keith Holloway tells the Riverside Press-Enterprise (http://bit.ly/1HYpPJI ) that a woman pointed to the dark brown, molasses-sweetened bread on the chalk menu board when ordering a few weeks ago. When asked why she wouldn't say the name, she said it was a slur.

Holloway promptly covered the name with a scrap of paper, temporarily renaming it brown bread. He is taking nominations for a new moniker through the end of the month.

Keith, you are one pantywaist, wet-noodle, PC controlled fool. >

Or a clever entrepreneur.

My vote is for "The bread formerly known as Squaw"

[onyx]

P.C. bread.

[PLMerite]

North American Aboriginal Bread.

I’m surprised she didn’t take back her complaint...

“Two Dogs bread”

[massgopguy]

The word Squaw has Algonkian roots. Many words referring to females end in “squa”. The Algonquins taught the Northeastern Colonists their language as best they could. This was a new experience for the Colonists. Sure there was some insulting USAGE of the word. (primarily by French Trappers) But the word itself is Native American. Just use it right.

Marxist bread. The left is on the roll, demanding changes in names, destruction of flags, prohibiting certain words. This is like Mao’s China.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Squawk bread.

[apocalypto]

I like that name.

[tophat9000]

So in lib logic you and a packet of Ho Ho's on a Saturday night is a threesome?

[CivilWarBrewing]

I'm SHOCKED it was a woman who complained.. SHOCKED I TELL YA! /s

Also, what about the 99% who DIDN'T complain? Whatever happened to 'majority rules'???????

SOMEONE SHOULD ASK THIS BIMBO IF 'WHITE BREAD' IS A SLUR TOO.

Squawk it’s Bread

[WayneS]

How about “whiner bread”?

Or “cultural capitulation bread”?

[null and void]

In California, squaw bread is baked, not fried.

Heck, I know of a restaurant that doesn’t fry hash browns!

[Paulie]

Clever? I think not.

Once the anti-1A crowd sees your you’re ripe for the picking, they never, ever stop. It’s almost axiomatic.

He may have saved the day, but the perennially offended crowd will be back. And they’ll have their lawyer on speed dial just in case.

[G Larry]

Does nobody ever tell the whiner to get lost?

[SkyDancer]

Any tribe name.

[PhiloBedo]

So the left wouldn’t be offended at a play called the Squaw Monologues? Rhetorical.............
