    Convenience rice is a weird one. I mean it's pretty convenient as at it when you buy a kilo of it.

    but the microwave pouches are done in 2 minutes rather than 10 minutes and involved no washing up.

    I thought this was going to be an RIP thread

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    It is. Rice in Pouches.

    I'm calling cultural appropriation on Uncle Ben's ass.

    Rice is Chinese staple.

    Racist.

    I think Ben is paid a wage in return for filling and packing the little bags nowadays. New legislation and all that. So not racist.

    In fact, YOU could be pulled up in front of the racism courts for patronising an old black man and insinuating that he can't fill little see-through perforated plastic bags as thoroughly and as competently when they pass down the conveyor belt in the rice packaging factory as a white man of a similar age and background.:eek:

    Uncle Bens is owned by a supermassive American foods conglohommerate. If removing one grain of rice per packet means someone on the board of directors gets to buy a shiny new Tesla Model S they'll do it.

    Uncle Ben will be a thing of the past soon. Racist connotations apparently

    This belongs in the woke-ism thread because its yet another "woke" thing that I couldn't give a f*ck about. Its not like we won't be able to find the rice once they change the name.

    You mean Ricist, surely?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Registered Users Posts: 100 ✭✭ranto_boy


    As well as the name change, they're removing the image of the black man from the products. I guess racists will be happy?

    We might aswell get rid of Captain Birdseye while we are at it. Too white.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,839 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    Ridiculous. Aunt Jemima is getting the same treatment this year too.
    Those brands have a story based on real black people, something that is lost now forever because of this ridiculous culture.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,824 ✭✭✭✭Rothko


    A change of no substance. All for show.

    You'd look at the packaging and say Ben looks like a nice fella, be a good chat and knows his grub. The woke culture just cancelled a black man, hows that for irony.
