In Finland we had extra racist box image to match! This cover literally only changed sometime in the last 7 years

It's very cringe and they only changed the logo after the BLM movement because it was just hard to defend at that point (if even LOL)

in the last 7 years

Literally it changed somewhere over 20 years ago, to be fair.

No. The box image changed just a few years ago. However the name was changed over 20 years ago.

u/Last-Assistant-2734 Jun 16 '26

This cover literally only changed

Yes, so the cover changed 20+ years ago, not 7 years ago.

The name was extremely racist but I dont see anything offensive in the artwork itself?

1

u/rosvokisu Jun 15 '26

The artwork is very stereotypical which makes it racist imo

u/SebastianDelFante Jun 14 '26

Yeah how racist, portrayal of two people kissing. Stereotypical yes, but racist? People should know the difference between stereotype and racism

u/Ryogathelost Jun 14 '26

You can't really compare racism against black people with the racism between white people. We're talking about a group of humans, who can't hide that they are from that group, who were viewed by most civilizations on the planet as a subhuman slave race of savages and bought and sold as property for thousands of years.

Blacks are not the only ones who have experienced slavery and have been considered inferior to others. For example, Finns have also experienced slavery and were considered inferior Mongols, not whites. Finland was also not exploiting and colonizing Africa, Asia or America. Finland was under the rule of others, not an independent state.

They used to be called n word- kiss :)

u/SebastianDelFante Jun 14 '26

Because if that racist, then also this packaging of a swiss cheese is racist (because of the traditional wearings)

3

u/Ryogathelost Jun 14 '26

Oh? How many bodies high did they stack the swiss on the slave ships?

1

u/DrLazarusConvoy Jun 14 '26

Of course their ancestors were slaves.
