I can see how this will stop eventually for example some low level schoolyard racism. Surely that alone is worth it?

Because it is tokenism

Look at all this boomer Facebook salt:

Most of us would not have noticed a brand of bog standard cheddar having a new name. No one cares more about this like ridiculous reactionaries.

It doesn't - but it does give some people who love to complain and blame others for their failures a chance to feel good about their otherwise useless existence.
The impact on north-west NSW is????

You can’t by a block of cheddar with a racist name anymore? Maybe they could sell it with a blue sharpie?
Why do you claim that?
I didn't say that.

The same people getting salty about the brand name of a boring block of cheddar also have been sharing “All lives matter” bollocks of Facebook.
I have been astonished over about the last 8 weeks of the number of (and I don't think I've ever used it seriously before) "snowflakes" there are, the anger and upset small changes are causing is astonishing. The sense of entitlement is unbelievable, the conservatism totally out of proportion to actual changes or even proposed changes is off the scale.
OK. How does it stop some low level school yard racism by changing a brand name
A typical example would be a group of kids saying "coon" rather loudly then "cheese is great" when someone they consider a "coon" walks by. Or asking in a home economics class "Sir is COON cheese really good?"
If you've never experienced such type of school yard racism/bullying then you are I suspect in a minority, or rather in the majority.
Yeah? And this has what relevance to this thread?
Okay, celebrate this shallow victory. Good show.

What a great example - the guy who has been quoted and mentioned several times is unimportant... only how it impacts white Australians is important to you.
