I believe if you are going to make a stand against racism it has to be based on equality. After all; all men are created equal.

if the white man is going to get into trouble for saying bad things about the black man, then the black man should get in as much trouble for saying things against the black man. otherwise what you are really saying is that “black people don’t know any better” and “the white man is strong enough to take it”.

So yes i do believe a bar of white chocolate with a white man or womans face on it would be racist and worthy of prosecution just the same as liquorish with a black man or womans face.

The real danger is that if we allow muslims and other stone age thinkers float in their values and skip our own because of fake equal opportunity. Soon we´ll have the sharia law and pork banned and bible thrown into gutter because these bandana heads need to be accepted. As everybody knows, those people do not tolare anything , but our politicians are so fucking afraid of criticism that soon we are in deep shit.

Also, our politicians seem to also have common sense. So far, in the interviews of party leaders on Obs, all that I have seen (including Sfp/Rkp, Green and Christian Democrat leaders) have all answered “no” it is not racist.

Oikeesti, nämä vitun idiootit pitäisi lähettää ensimmäisellä koneella takaisin Jenkkilään. He eivät tajua Euroopasta yhtään mitään eivätkä haluakaan tajuta. He oikeasti luulevat voivansa käyttää sadan vuoden takaisia amerikkalaisia kenkävahaneekereitä jonain argumenttina Fazerin lakua vastaan. Kuinka kukaan voi olla noin vitun tyhmä?

By now, after 102-posts in this thread, we are all familiar with American-style minstrel shows, which also had a more limited presence in Europe. But, as already stated in this thread, FINLAND IS NOT AMERICA! We never had minstrel shows, enslaved blacks, lynched blacks, nor even made them sit in the back of the bus. This image was NOT conceived to ridicule or degrade anyone.

Although I’m not particularly fond of the product, I must admit that I’ve grown attached to the packaging. I’ve seen it on store shelves since I was very young—since the late sixties! Now, thanks to America’s sins, we’re being asked to relinquish an important part of my childhood memories. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

I recommend to the people that say there is nothing offensive in the pack’s design, to please read this before they post their next comment.

Hyvä Hyvä

Oh shit I hear the PC police knocking on my door. I have to hide, see you after a few weeks

Japanese Xylitol-gum commercial

or better yet this korean one is “equal” to the Laku-Pekka logo of the candy

I think not as I am sure that Finns understand the notion of these commercials. Just like Africans were exotic to finns during the time when these “controversial” logos were born. Finns are now just as exotic to Japanese and Koreans as Africans once were to Finns.

There is absolutely nothing to be offended about those logos nor about those above mentioned commercials, when you understand the cultural history about them. Should we change them for other reasons as times are different is an another guestion.

Make him dance….indeed

See if you can teach the white boy any moves.
