Way to control businesses,

WE CAN DO THE SAME BY BOYCOTTING THOSE BUSINESSES WHO PANDER AND KNEEL. They have more to lose with the majority

A few years ago, in Portland, Oregon (of course) there was objection to a new TJ's going in:

In 2014, Trader Joe’s was in negotiations to open a new store in Albina. The Portland Development Commission, the city’s urban-renewal agency, offered the company a steep discount on a patch of land to entice them to seal the deal. But the Portland African American Leadership Forum wrote a letter protesting the development, arguing that the Trader Joe’s was the latest attempt to profit from the displacement of African Americans in the city.

Because it represented hated "gentrification" - TJ's pulled out of the deal - better to leave it as a weed-filled lot in a blighted area than try to bring businesses and jobs into the area.

Wow, now I have learned that imagining international versions of the titular “Trader Joe” is wrong. I have also learned that Chinese, Mexican, and Italian are “races”.

Thanks Wokepocalypse!

I guess Trader Chink, Trader Beaner and Trader Wop are not under consideration as alternatives.

So now it’s racist to translate the name “Joe” into other languages?

“...nearly 1,000 people...”

In other words - “..less than 1000...”.

I bet Trader Joe’s is worried.

How stupid can you get!

Let's also ban the words Chinese, Mexican, and Italian.

People who are obsessed with such foolishness need something useful to work on.

I say we make our own demands.

From now on, the words gay, lesbian, and queer can no longer be used to describe sexual orientation. The proper term will be homosexual, with no gender designation.

From now on the term ‘social justice’ will no longer be deemed acceptable, as it connotes a knowledge of ‘justice’ without proper peer-based adjudication.

etc.

Like so many other companies and individuals, Trader Joe’s management, in its emotionally-driven effort to not be “out-antiracisted” by the competition, is quite prepared to make a fool of itself and their brand ... publicly.

O holy f. How is it racist to say that Mexican food might be made by a Jose rather than a Joe????????

It’s like saying that Mexican names associated with Mexican food is racist. Shall we tiptoe around this truth? Shall we say instead in our cute packaging that the new salsa was made by Trader Jürgen??

Is having a culture or ethnicity considered racist? Or is simply acknowledging someone’s admitted culture now racist? Is there anything on the planet that is not to be considered racist?

I guess the Trader Jamal line of soul food products will also be removed from the shelves.

Trader Joe's - - put pictures of attractive white people on all products in a 50's postcard motif...

An American businessman with his family in front of the Great Wall of China... (Chinese food)

Young white students in front of Chichen Itzá, Yucatán (Mexican food).

Etc. Etc.

Pictures show a modern 'trader' mentality. All people are White Americans... so there's no conflict. Our skin might be white but it's NOT thin. Besides, in five years when Black Lives Matter starts screaming about all white people on products we get the last laugh.
