"Exoticizes"? A new WOKE word.
I used to sneak under the circus tent to catch the "exotic" dancers. Are they now verboten?
This is what I dreamed of...
But this is what I got...

Weeks after admitting that some of its international-themed product labels might have fallen short of an “attempt at inclusiveness,” the grocery store chain Trader Joe’s is rejecting criticism of the labels — some with names like Trader José and Trader Ming’s — as racist.
After an online petition denounced the company’s use of labels such as Arabian Joe’s, Trader Giotto’s and Trader Joe San as racist because it “exoticizes other cultures,” Trader Joe’s announced that it would keep names that it felt still resonated with customers.

Good! Love that store and it’s employees.
No a fan of Trader Joe’s but I might have to go there once now
Good for Trader Joe’s. I doubt the people claiming their labels are racist even shop at TJ. Maybe TJ should come out with some really racist labels or dedicate a label to the SJWs like “Traitor Joe Biteme” Crappy Coffee.
Its nice to see some pushback against all this nonsensical political correctness.
Let’s see if the cultural revolutionaries declare that all.good revolutionaries should boycott Trader Joe’s.
They made their demands, and Trader Joe’s said no. So what’s the next step?
It’s enough to make me want to go to Trader Joe’s more often. And buy Trader Mings Chinese food.
They should BAN the 4000 signatories to the petition from their stores.
You see also that Red Bull identified a cadre of SJW’s agitating in their corporate offices and escorted them to the parking lot.
Eskimo Pie is racist??
Man i LOVE me some Eskimos.
anybody remember what Brazil nuts used to be called?
I think these names are pretty mild.
If they offend you then you need to grow a thicker carapace you dung beetle.
Yes, I'm in my 70s. but the initials are " NT" ... No, I cannot say it.

How about new york times sucks?
My mom is 72 and told me that term - and to not say it because it wasn’t nice - when I was a little girl.
Nearly 40 years later, still never uttered the term but no matter - BLM & Antifa have recently informed us that I’m a privileged racis anyway.
Those names “exoticizes other cultures.”
How is that a bad thing? It sounds complimentary to me not derogatory.

“Trader Joe’s announced that it would keep names that it felt still resonated with customers.”
Thank you, Trader Joe’s, for not bending the knee to the racists and commies.
The NYet Times is engaging in personal attacks on commercial venture.
The “girl” who started this, has she granted any on-camera interviews?
Her social networking accounts (instagram, twitter, facebook) all launched the same time this year as her petition at Change.org.
She’s like Barack’s composite girlfriends in his book. They don’t exist.
Psst. In Japan and the Soviet Union and Jolly ol’ England and Germany and Italy and Spain and Brazil the local youths eat cheeseburgers, wear blue jeans, listen to rock and roll albums, and dream of the exotic United States.
So they are racists? Is that what you’re getting at?
