    Default New name revealed for Australia's controversial Coon cheese

    New name revealed for Australia's controversial Coon cheese


    Jan 13 2021

    Australian dairy brand Coon will now be sold under the name Cheer, the company has announced.

    The cheese, originally named for American cheesemaker Edward William Coon, was dropped after years of criticism linking the word to its historical use as a racial slur.

    Nine out of ten concerns are completely unfounded.

    Another thing I'll never buy again. From now on I'm calling it nigger cheese, because coon is too offensive.

    When your last name is offensive. I guess Irish people can't name their kids Tyrone anymore.
    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

    You could say they're shredding their legacy.

    I only bought it for the name. Bega, Cracker Barrell (is that offensive?) etc taste better anyway.

    Why not be fully honest and call it Fear, or, an ass-licking name like Afro-Gold, and claim that it also works as a de-asher.

    This patrolling of language is more harmful than beneficial to their anti-discrimination activism (in and of itself, a well-intentioned cause, but mishandled).

    But after the "Eskimo Nebula" controversy, nothing surprises me anymore. I wasn't even aware this was supposed to be a slur, it definitely isn't in my native tongue (as the cognate "esquimó"), which attests the subjective nature of language.
