These people are all mentally ill.
Perfectly understandable; co-opting the name “Brownies” is offensive to all creatures of the Fae realm.
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.
“Racialized girls?”
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
I’m waiting for the Packers to have to change their name.
Someone at Girl Guides is racist
I got kicked outta cub scouts for eatin’ brownies ...
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.
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.
Why not drop the ‘Girls’ from the name as well?...............
What a difference from the Cub/Boy Scouts I was a member of. We were called to become better than ourselves, to do our best to do our duties to God and our country, to help other people at all times, to keep ourselves physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Our goal was to become:
TRUSTWORTHY
LOYAL
HELPFUL
FRIENDLY
COURTEOUS
KIND
OBEDIENT
CHEERFUL
THRIFTY
BRAVE
CLEAN
REVERENT
House elves counter-demonstrate.
...where racialized girls in Canada can feel welcome and proud to belong in Girl Guides.

Girl Guides? Both words have issues. Perhaps they mean Person Neither Leading or Following.
I was busted with pride when I took the Brownie oath 75 years ago. From Wikipedia:
In the United States, Brownies use the same Promise and Law as the other age groups of the Girl Scouts of the USA.[10]
Girl Scout Promise:
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
Girl Scout Law:
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.
These people see problems where there are none. They are sick puppies. I was in the Brownies. I was minded of luscious chocolate pastries, if anything.
Uh-oh. And what shall we call those delicious baked, chewy, choclatey cookie-ish desserts that sometimes have nuts or other things (especially if you’re a college kid) in them?
Everything else has been declared racist, and this was the only word that wasn’t “racist.”
A brownie or broonie (Scots),[1] also known as a brùnaidh or gruagach (Scottish Gaelic), is a household spirit or Hobgoblin from Scottish folklore that is said to come out at night while the owners of the house are asleep and perform various chores and farming tasks. The human owners of the house must leave a bowl of milk or cream or some other offering for the brownie, usually by the hearth. Brownies are described as easily offended and will leave their homes forever if they feel they have been insulted or in any way taken advantage of. Brownies are characteristically mischievous and are often said to punish or pull pranks on lazy servants. If angered, they are sometimes said to turn malicious, like boggarts.
