These people are all mentally ill.

[I-ambush]

Perfectly understandable; co-opting the name “Brownies” is offensive to all creatures of the Fae realm.

[Olog-hai]

The term “brownie” is not associated with race. At all.

Don’t go in the woods girls, your dictator just banned a bunch of firearms and ain’t nobody gonna be around to shoot that bear that decided you look tasty.

[Yo-Yo]

“Racialized girls?”

[joshua c]

to be absolutely and completely “safe”

they should change their uniforms to a color that is not associated with skin color

greenies?

although martians may be offended

[Old Yeller]

I’m waiting for the Packers to have to change their name.

Someone at Girl Guides is racist

“Racialized girls?”

It is liberal speak to avoid saying what liberals really think about minorities - racial inferiors.

[bankwalker]

I got kicked outta cub scouts for eatin’ brownies ...

[17th Miss Regt]

To clarify, liberals think minorities are racial inferiors.

[OpusatFR]

Maybe if you explain what a brownie is in WESTERN FOLKLORE instead of flogging the very, very tired racist charge, you would not have the gall to sanitize my culture.

[1Old Pro]

I’m waiting for the Packers to have to change their name.

It's a protected class.

[gundog]

In a cruel, ironic twist, the bear will likely be a Black Bear, or a Brown Bear.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

We live in world in which “monkeypox” is considered racist, so why not “brownies”? They should probably ditch it as the name of the confection too.

[kosciusko51]

I knew someone would say this...

[canuck_conservative]

it is a common term for “East Indians”

[Olog-hai]

Common? So “common” that I’ve never heard of it in that context, i.e. until now. Only heard it in context of the fairy/elf myths.

[Red Badger]

Why not drop the ‘Girls’ from the name as well?...............
