The old Land O’Lakes packaging has received criticism accusing the company of racism and sexism, including from North Dakota state Rep. Ruth Buffalo, who told the Grand Forks Herald that the image of the Native American woman goes “hand-in-hand with human and sex trafficking of our women and girls … by depicting Native women as sex objects.”


But casinos on the reservations are fine

So when do they pick up Elizabeth Warren as a celebrity endorser?

Like who would see anything “sexy” about the image?

Unless this guy has some weird thing for women and butter.

The Indian is supposed to represent nature and purity and such and in this perverse world the depraved have to destroy anything they can imagine.

I agree it's time to end “reservations” and all the special rights for these offended groups.

Saw the full article this morning on my news feed. Here’s the feedback I sent to Land O Lakes —

Your butter has been my favorite go-to brand. Has been. I see that you’re changing your iconic image of a Native American woman to a generic landscape scene. One reason given is that it’s offensive to Native Americans; a secondary reason that it’s a sexual image that promotes human trafficking. I’m offended that you presume to speak for all Native Americans and that you apparently see a depraved undertone in all images of beautiful women. Enjoy your wokeness and your power to woke scold the public. I hope the snowflakes this was meant to impress buy lots of your butter — because I’ll never buy another stick of it.

Land of Flakes should be an easy brand to boycott. Spread the word. No more PCBS!

She reminded me of my wife, so there’s kind of an attachment to that brand. Not going to change my life, but it’s just a dumb move on the whole.

Of course putting a MAN on the label would be sexist and toxic masculinity. You can’t win with these fruitcakes.

Uh oh, did I just say something bad about fruitcakes?

Does anyone remember folding the carton so her bare knees cover her chest area? Maybe it’s that.

They once removed all the indians from Tennessee too. Marched them out to Oklahoma on the Trail of tears.

Now they’re removing them from packaging. They sure hate those injuns.....

Controversial. It’s only controversial to people who go around looking for controversy.

Some of these articles are saying the problem is that the image is depicting Native women as sex objects.
Some of these articles are saying the problem is that the image is racist.

Don't know how either one of these things is correct. And they are two different claims.

Should we pretend that Native Americans don't exist? They are "un-seen"? Is that better? Or should we remove all women from all advertising? Because we don't want to be sexist?

Is there any logic to anything in the world any more?

Ya' know what? I just don't GAS anymore. Out of sight, out of mind.
   In fact, take all minorities off all forms of advertising - especially TV where minorities are grossly over represented.
I'm sick of all of it - diversity my @ss.
