    I’m trying but it just starts to soften and deform instead of getting shiny like yours. How long did you have to polish it?

      Nobody says that. Literally nobody. It’s just a strawman you made up.

      Racism exists literally everywhere where humans live.

        Uncritical American Leftists (and Europeans when they want to look down on America) say that all the time, holding up Europe as the epitome of what America should be. There’s no straw man there. It’s especially bad when you’re talking to somebody spouting that nonsense, and ask them how the Europeans feel about Romanis. Suddenly it’s not racism, it’s realism.

        For the record, I lean left on most issues.

        Edit: Wow, there’s already someone saying it elsewhere in this very comment section!

      There sure is, but mostly it manifests itself differently than in the US.

      “Yanks will try to find racism in fucking blackboards”

      WTF is racist about this? Only a white person would decide this is offensive

        It’s a bunch of white people profiting off a caricature of a black person. If this was a black owned company, I might see your point.

          Except you ignore the fact that people in Poland don’t give a shit what color you are, they’re there to buy a product. Nobody goes “oh let’s get the one with the black girl on it”, it’s just the logo. Nobody gives a shit if the owner is black, white, yellow, red, blue, ya know, the way it should be in a world that sees no color, only actions.

          If the logo was white, and their profits went down, I’d believe you

          Fuckin hell, you don’t have to be offended at everything just because your parents were too busy working to pay you any attention 😂

            I’m just explaining something to someone I assumed wanted an answer. I’d you just want to be an ass, I’d be happy to service you that way instead.

      Aunt Jemima

      Was never bad, woke asshole cancel everything they don’t understand.

      “I was, I was taken aback. I was really shocked. I knew people didn’t realize that those were real people and, you know, to phase them out, would kind of erase their history,” Harris said.

      ‘She’s just not a character … I really want her legacy to be told. That this is a real person. And this was her recipe. And she fed the world from her flapjacks,” he said.

    Fun fact: Conguito character was created in 1960s and influenced by recent Congo independence.
