Cracker Jack Changes Name To More Politically Correct Caucasian Jack
PLANO, TX—When ballparks finally open again, those standing for the traditional seventh-inning stretch will be singing some different lyrics to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
After over 100 years of selling its caramel popcorn snack under the name Cracker Jack, Frito-Lay announced today that it would be rebranded as the less offensive "Caucasian Jack."
"We are very sorry to all the crack---er, I mean, Caucasians we have hurt over the years," said a spokesperson. "Cracker is an offensive stereotype, and we must make sure that all foods and snack products are culturally sensitive. Think about all the white people who have had to suffer in silence as tens of thousands of baseball fans sang out the hurtful lyrics 'Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks.'"
"No more. The bigotry stops today."
The move was applauded by hurt white people, though they are still criticizing Frito-Lay for how pale and pasty-white the Cracker Jack guy is on the logo.

I had never heard of that before. So what would the politically correct word for picnics be now?

They are missing the point that it was actually an honor to have your pic put on a national brand like that. There was noting derogatory about it.
IGNORANCE gone to seed again!

I agree Zeke! - I found it cool and inspiring to see Aunt Jemima's beautiful, smiling face along with the handsome and dignified-looking Uncle Ben on a national brand...
I believe the companies thought they were "honoring" Black people, NOT denigrating them with those images.

Yes, they were friendly, dignified faces, quite respectable actually.

Aunt Jemima's Great-Grandson Enraged Her Legacy Will Be Erased"This is an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history, sir," Larnell Evans Sr. told me. "The racism they talk about, using images from slavery, that comes from the other side — white people. This company profits off images of our slavery. And their answer is to erase my great-grandmother's history. A black female. ... It hurts."
