The maker of Eskimo Pies will change the 99-year-old brand name of the ice cream treat. They think the term, ‘Eskimo’ pies is racially-tinged, racially insensitive and derogatory. How is it derogatory to name an ice cream in a way that conjures up Eskimos eating it?
The owner of the Eskimo Pie, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, said in a statement they had been considering renaming the chocolate-covered ice cream bar and popsicle for some time.
“We are committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognize the term is derogatory,” the company’s head of marketing said in a statement.
“This move is part of a larger review to ensure our company and brands reflect our people values,” the company added.
The young boy dressed as an Eskimo has to go too.
How is this racially-tinged? It doesn’t insult Eskimos, merely conjures up the cold and the people who live in those regions. This is ridiculous.
At the same time, Aunt Jemima has to go and her great-grandson is infuriated. He sees it as her legacy and believes it’s a case of white people erasing the history of blacks in America.
Uncle Ben and the chef on Cream of Wheat have to go too. Why?
Cream of Wheat, which features a black chef, and the company said Thursday they would review their marketing strategy.
“We understand there are concerns regarding the Chef image,” said B&G Foods in an emailed statement, adding that they “are initiating an immediate review” of the cereal brand’s packaging.
How are they racist now? They’re pleasant-looking people. This is nuts.

This is the insanity of virtue signalling. Now, where is the Pillsbury Dough Boy who is obviously pale? Do they need to show burnt blackened rolls to show their solidarity with BLM?
Oh, my! If I have to keep boycotting all these companies, I’ll soon run out of food to eat, clothes and tennis shoes to wear, and entertainment. What’s next, removing Uncle Sam Cereal? After all, someone, somewhere must be offended by the name.
This is part of a Marxist plot to erase American history including blacks as the ignition switch to further their agenda,
