The whinging triggered fuck has gone into police protection because of threatening emails.

Don't know who are the bigger dumb fucks, the triggered bitch or the triggered coon lovers...

Coon is not a racist slur.
Its a surname.
The word coon has been used as a racist slur but its not exclusive to that notion.

The name of this cheese should never have changed on that basis.

Its offensive to the Coon family.

Just a guess, but I'd think that the whole idea was to try to sue. And while I understand that many Aboriginals found the brand name offensive, I fail to see why they need to be involved in renaming it. As long as it's been rebranded to a non offensive name this should be counted as a win for anyone that was having sleepless nights over it.
Yep. I heard this idiot was trying to sue $1 million per year for the last 21 years of damage hes suffered.

Morons like this do the most damage to legitimate causes. All hes done is outed himself as a money hungry dropkick and undermined any future legitimate anti-racism causes.

I still can't understand how the word coon got associated with black people.

TBH I'm glad I can't.

It's an abbreviation for "raccoon". It's a complicated history but had to do with making cartoons of black people and saying they are either a "coon" or a "sambo"

They characterised coons as lazy black people and sambos as idiot black people. Part of American history that was pretty shocking so I can understand why they get upset. But I think the name change was mainly about getting a lawsuit.

It was really weird how they also wanted to be part of the renaming process. I cant understand that at all

Was watching a Who Do You Think You Are on the new Miss Moneypenny Naomie Harris.

Traced her heritage back to captured African slaves sent to Jamaica and there in the paperwork was her grandfather 5 times removed written down as a sambo meaning he was a black mated with a mulatto and that produces a sambo.
