For those who don't quite get it. Perhaps you should look up the word banter.
This whole thread has been a joke, hasn't it? Or did I miss a serious turn somewhere?

Ooga booga!


Ancient aztecs indeed

That they are blue in color is in itself highly problematic. When I lived in Wisconsin, "blue people" was code for "black people". No idea about Australia but if it's bad somewhere it has to be bad everywhere! Ha. Haha. Hahaha.

How we always get side tracked .

The original article was posted to show how pathetic our community attitudes to a person who complains must be appeased or social media may rain down on you and drown you with crappy racist and other outlandish accusations of wrong doing.

In the case of the comment quoted above (just to explain) the cartoon family of dogs are breeds called heelers. We have both Red and Blue heelers. In the cartoon family the mother is a Red and father is a Blue and the kids are one of each. Nothing to do with any codes.

I don't know if you know and are being light hearted, or you don't know.

They have already decided to change the name of Coon cheese.

Who elects these childish dick-head politicians?

Coon Cheese has rebranded as Cheer Cheese, ending racism forever.

Indigenous people 'should have been' consulted on new Coon cheese name

A man who pushed for 21 years to have Coon cheese renamed, saying the label was racist, is disappointed Indigenous people weren’t consulted about the product's new name, Cheer.



Author and anti-racism activist Stephen Hagan said he was glad and relieved that the cheese's manufacturer had announced the name change on Wednesday, to take effect in July, as he would no longer have to see the word "coon" – a derogatory term for a black person – every time he went to the supermarket.

Dr Hagan is not sure what the new name, Cheer, stands for. "I would have liked it to be something a bit more inclusive of First Nations people," he said. "We weren’t even consulted on names. We would like to have contributed."

Dr Hagan is pursuing legal damages of $2.1 million for what he says has been 21 years of corporations undermining his claims that the cheese brand was not named after American cheesemaker Edward William Coon.

Dr Hagan argues that Coon cheese instead started in Australia with Kraft’s Red Coon cheese in 1931, which used a different method to Mr Coon’s. Mr Coon patented a fast ripening process using high temperature and humidity that didn't kill all bacteria. Kraft's pasteurisation process killed all bacteria and lasted much longer in storage.



Dr Hagan believes Coon was instead named after the racial slur.
